iMessage

Plain-English definition, in the context of supervised iPhone protection.

By Yisrael Schneider, Manager ·

Apple's end-to-end encrypted messaging service. Works between any Apple devices. Content is encrypted in the Secure Enclave and never visible to Apple or to MDM operators. On the Kosher iPhone, iMessage works normally — the MDM does not and cannot intercept messages.
