Why does the placeholder text on the desktop version of Messages (AKA iMessage) just say "iMessage". That's useless.

What is should contain is the name/handle of the person you're messaging, because it's very easy to make a mistake on that, given the (crappy) UI.

Get on it, $AAPL.

That is all.

The U.S. House's chief administrative officer informed congressional staffers Monday that messaging app #WhatsApp is banned on their #government devices.

"The Office of Cybersecurity has deemed WhatsApp a high-risk to users due to the lack of transparency in how it protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks involved with its use," the CAO said in an email obtained by Axios.
