The Final Leg to Iphones Uses Apple's End-to-end Encryption

Sunbird Messaging has returned to the Google Play Store, giving Android users iMessage blue bubble features like reactions and high-quality videos for $2.99 a month. The company claims it fixed the security flaws that forced it to shut down nearly three years ago. Messages are encrypted on the device, in transit via certificate-pinned connections, and at rest with AES-256 encryption, with media deleted within 48 to 72 hours.

The final leg to iPhones uses Apple's end-to-end encryption. Sunbird also supports Google Messages and SMS, with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger integration and an AI assistant planned later this year.
