On: When does an old iPhone become unsafe to use?

[superq]

I don't know if you're specifically referring to X, the artist formerly known as Twitter, but regardless, no; iMessage runs with unique privileges and capabilities that are not available to ordinary messaging services.

Like the other comment pointed out, I understood 'X' to mean a stand in for iMessage. It didn't occur to me that we were referring to FKA Twitter

X is a common variable/placeholder like A, N or foo. Nobody is using it to refer to x.com unless it is a thread about Musk/Twitter

Sorry I forgot the most recent musk idiocy. X was a stand in for any other functionally always on and receiving service, messaging platforms are the primary example.

I'm actually now curious whether the various awful web notification standards allow images?

No it doesn’t.
