> The individual messages are encrypted much like messages in iMessage are. After the devices are paired, each device generates a symmetric 256-bit AES key that gets stored in the device’s keychain. This key can encrypt and authenticate the BLE advertisements that communicate the device’s current activity to other iCloud-paired devices using AES256 in GCM mode, with replay protection measures.
I'm curious, a few of your comments are lists of $thing: $link - often without context or any explanation, so is there some form of automation going on here?
Additionally, while the tone of the original comment was a little cheeky, I think if they wanted to downvote and say (and I'm interpreting what they wanted to say from the tone, not making any accusations personally) "These are low-quality, low-effort comments that I think are bot-driven" they wouldn't be terribly unjustified in doing so.
I love it when people put the instruction for what to enter into a field instead of actually filling out the field.
I run into it ALL the time and no matter how you write instructions, at least 1/3 of people won't read them but just skim to what they think they need and then copy/paste. Ugh.
Especially because the two biggest competitors (FB messenger and Whatsapp) have phone calls in their chat apps. I think a lot of people will be disappointed finding out that you can't use voice in Allo.
