Yes, AirMessage is generally safe, especially when used with AirMessage Connect, due to its encryption.
If you're using AirMessage with AirMessage Connect, all communication is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). This is the same robust security protocol that protects sensitive information, like passwords and payment details, when you're browsing the internet and making online transactions. This encryption ensures that your messages are protected from eavesdropping while they are in transit between your Android device and your Mac.
Here's a breakdown of key security aspects:
- Encryption: TLS encryption means your messages are scrambled during transmission, making them unreadable to anyone who might intercept them.
- AirMessage Connect: This service facilitates the connection between your Android device and your Mac. By using it, you benefit from the built-in TLS encryption.
- Local Network Option: If you choose not to use AirMessage Connect and instead connect directly over your local network, the security will depend on your network's security. Consider using a VPN in this scenario for enhanced protection.
In summary, AirMessage leverages standard encryption practices to secure your messages, making it a relatively safe messaging solution, particularly when paired with AirMessage Connect.
