      What if I told you on some phones, an Ai agent is watching your every keystroke, making e2e entirely moot?

      What if I told you that if anyone in the chatrooms you visit has one, then the entire chatroom is compromised, you included?

      Food for thought.

          This would either be opt-in or up to your device. I’d suspect any Pixel, Samsung or iPhone with Ai assisted accessibility features enabled to be likely targets.

          My statement, in truth was more of a “water is wet”, broad stroke. If some feature of your phone involves an Ai agent reading your screen, then I hate to say this, but I’m afraid an Ai agent may be reading your screen.

          When it does, whether it does becomes irrelevant if it can, and I don’t trust ifs. I directly tell my iPhone and average Android users on XMPP that they should know not to discuss much more than they would in a crowded mall, if that. You’re at the mercy of your manufacturer for any illusion of privacy you believe you may have. In more truth, we all are, me on a Oneplus 11 on Lineage, just maybe slightly less so. No Ai, at least.

      I read the researchers could retrieve the messages from a database that kept the push Notifications. I wonder how this behaves for Android.
