  • Messaging apps like WhatsApp/Signal are outside Android permissions scope, making it impossible to grant spying access.
  • Messages at rest might be protected from surveillance through split keys provided by services like Messenger.
  • RCS is popular with governments due to its generic, interoperable framework on devices, allowing any app with permission to spy on messages.
