Nope. Wrong again. IF you use the OPTIONAL iCloud Backups feature - as
opposed to backing up to your own computer, and you don't enabled
Advanced Data Protection, your backup contains a copy of your iMessage
encryption key. Nuance is hard, y'all! 🤣

Don't back up to iCloud, or enable Advanced Data Protection. "Problem"
solved, like magic!

Tell me you aren't this dumb. iCloud Backups are not messages. 

iMessage has indeed been end-to-end encrypted for a long, long time.

Backups are also end-to-end encrypted when you enable Advanced Data
Protection which was introduced with iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2 and macOS
13.1.

Companies do not decide if a platform is core or not. Apple has no say 
in this. It is the EU who decides who is core, for the purpose of 
mandating to open their platform to competitors inside the EU.

In the U.S. iPhones have a bigger market share in general. And since
iMessage is only available on iOS there is of course no other way then
getting an iPhone if you want to keep in touch with others using that
platform. But that's not because iMessage is so great - there is just no
other choice.

What do you mean "there is just no other choice"?

How to join group conversions or use any of the other specific features
of iMessage without using iMessage?

Hard to "join", but if the SMS-er(s) is(are) on the first list of a 
group, then no big issue.  Not elegant, mind you.

Not "hard" - impossible. With SMS you can only send a message to a phone
number, not to a messenger group.

Look at it the other way around.  If a group copies an SMS user with a 
message, his replies will go back to the group.  This assumes the group 
were all enlisted by phone number, however.

It's messy.

If a user sends an SMS message, he can only send it to a phone number.
There is no phone number which will address the whole group. So what did
I miss here?

I'd have to revisit it, but I do recall chats where a reply from SMS 
users appeared on two or more iPhones.

Again: SMS is only to a phone number. It is technically impossible to
determine, if an incoming SMS message on *one* phone (the phone number,
the SMS was addressed to) was intended for a iMessage group. It will
only be displayed as what it is: an incoming SMS message from one user
to another user.

It's not like I don't understand that.  I just recall being on text 
groups where the SMS user remained in the loop over multiple replies. 
Maybe I missed something.

The software has to internally keep track of all recipients, and send an 
SMS to all, ie, multiple SMS with some tracking information.

Another method would be to send an SMS to a master phone in the list, 
which then forwards to the rest.

I have seen group messaging with SMS, it can be done. The SMS first 
appeared in my phone as a message from one of the members, and seconds 
later appeared in the group.

With RCS, it is supported.

Which is impossible.

A SMS message has only this:

1) Recipient phone number
2) Content
3) Ask for delivery report yes/no

You can not distinguish between a SMS message which is only addressed in
private to the phone owner or if it is OK to forward it via iMessage to
a group.

> Another method would be to send an SMS to a master phone in the list, 
> which then forwards to the rest.

See above: you can not really decide wether the SMS message is only for
the owner of the phone who recieves it or if it should be forwarded to
an iMessage group.

The iMessage group would need to have it's own phone number - but I
doubt, that Apple runs a service which creates new phone numbers for
every iMessage group and accepts SMS messages to that phone numbers.

In this case you should ask the sender to send a message only to you and
not to the group. I wonder how this should be possible, if the group has
not it's own number.

Yes, but RCS is not SMS.

RCS isn't supported in this app, but is the group SMS message supported?

There is no "group SMS" - it is just a SMS message to multiple numbers.
Depending on the SMS app you can of course you can create "groups" which
just contain multiple recipients for your message. But everybody will
still just get a single message by you and can not see if the SMS
message was sent to other people as well.

The recipient of the SMS sent to the group can reply to the group. 
However it works, it does work.

So - if an user get's an SMS(!) from an iMessage group - what number is
then used as the "Sender" number?

The time I saw this, most of us were using Androids, I don't remember if 
anyone was using an iphone. But I was in Canada, so people just used 
SMS, not WhatsApp. Some of us had RCS activated, not all.

When I got an SMS, it appeared first as an SMS coming from an 
individual, and moments later, it moved to the group. And for sending, I 
sent to the group, but it was in fact sent to every phone in the group. 
Another person commented this same behaviour on their phone.

But it appeared as if sending/receiving from the group. I was probably 
using Google Messages App.
