Apple Improves Messaging Communication with Android https://thehackernews.com/2026/05/ios-265-brings-default-end-to-end.html Apple has released iOS update 26.5 for iPhone, which automatically enables end-to-end encryption for RCS messages sent between these devices and Android phones. Effective immediately, both new and existing conversations within the Messages app are protected by default, ensuring that no one can read them while they are in transit. Users will see a padlock icon indicating that the conversation is secure. For both Android and iPhone users, this represents a significant change: their conversations now enjoy the same level of privacy as those conducted within iMessage between two Apple devices. Previously, these messages were more exposed similar to traditional SMS texts. The key difference is that iMessage is an Apple-exclusive system that functions only between its own devices, whereas RCS is the standard protocol enabling communication between iPhones and Androids, a protocol that has now been enhanced with this automatic protection.

Dear Apple, I have never once opened your weather app to check the wind map. It should default to radar. I want to see the rain. Always. Not the wind. It’s so dumb. Who designed that? Why can’t I change it?

/privacy Mullvad VPN Keeps Improving https://mullvad.net/es/blog/force-all-app-traffic-into-the-tunnel Mullvad will soon launch a new feature in its iOS app that forces all internet traffic from apps to pass through the VPN tunnel. This resolves a known issue within Apple's system that allowed for data leaks in certain situations. The option internally codenamed "Force all apps" enables a setting that blocks any connection outside of the VPN. However, it comes with a drawback: when enabled, app updates may fail, potentially leaving the device without an internet connection until it is restarted. To avoid this, users will need to disconnect the VPN or temporarily disable this feature before updating. Mullvad encourages affected users to report the bug to Apple so that it can be fixed. This improvement will be available in the next version of the app.
