iPhone Vulnerability Makes Messages Sent via iMessage Unsecured Using Apple's Default Settings

A recent leak of FBI documents shows that US intelligence agencies regularly access personal data from nine different "encrypted" messaging services. And one of them is Apple's iMessage. Even, "if the target is using an iPhone and has iCloud backup enabled, the iCloud backups may contain message content data", the FBI can access some of the message content.
Fortunately, users can protect their chats from being eavesdropped by others by changing iCloud's default settings. Go to the Settings app > select Apple ID > iCloud > Tap the "iCloud Backup" option and turn it off.
With just a small change in settings, the iPhone's iMessage message security level makes a big difference: The left side is fully secure and the right side is completely unsecured .
