Hopefully Tiffany will tour them

It is not.

No, ginger is not a tree.

And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger.

Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

So is a potato wood? A carrot?

Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.

It’s not a tree root.

Ginger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?

Thankfully they’re super easy to spot and block.

I’m not aware of the delete label in iMessage being labeled “delete from every device that you own and have signed into iMessage”.

There are numerous documented ways to avoid the situation he put himself in, he didn’t bother to find one and is now trying to blame others for his stupidity.

They explain how this works in their “tips” app - ie the user guide.

You seem to think that because you expect something to work a certain way, everyone does, and that’s just not true at all. For most of the history of iMessage, they were never synced. Eventually they rolled out the option to sync them with iMessage for iCloud. You can choose to use it or not. But I would suggest that just as many people think that deleting a text from one device won’t delete it from the others.

This is not the case of “apple” storing the message anywhere. This is the case of a user storing his messages locally on his Mac and then sharing the account with his wife. He’s clearly an idiot, but sure, blame Apple for not being able to save him from himself.

You can sync your messages by enabling iMessage in iCloud. Or you can just not sign into iMessage on devices that are shared with other people.

It’s not broken, it works this way by design. If you don’t want your messages stored in the cloud, then they aren’t synced. This is a choice that many messaging apps don’t give you.

Yes, they do.

This article is short on details but basically the situation is that for most of the lifetime of iMessage, you sign in with your Mac and your phone and your iPad and whatever. These messages are not synced. If you sign in on a new device, the old one’s don’t show up. If you delete from one device it has no affect on the other.

Later they introduced iMessage in iCloud , which is an opt in service. iMessage in iCloud, once set up on your devices, allows you to sync your messages amongst these devices by storing these messages in the cloud. This is not enabled by default, probably because security wise it’s probably safer to not store your messages in the cloud.

In the “Tips” app on my iPhone (which is the user guide app), they explicitly state you have to enable it on all of your devices. You can have some set up to store in the cloud and another device just logged in and storing messages locally. This is to give you the flexibility to store all of your messages long term on one or more devices but not on all of them or in the cloud.

I don’t know about you, but I much prefer the option to store my data where I want rather than to be forced to have it in the cloud (and therefore synced) just because some shitty people are too stupid to know how to cover the evidence of their shitty behavior and want to shift blame to anyone but themselves.

For this man’s own stupidity? Nah.

No it sounds like he (and you) didn’t understand the technology and thought it acted in a way it didn’t. Expecting Apple to be liable for this is buffoonery.

American made baseball gloves will burn just as quickly as the foreign made ones if you put them in the air fryer at 350°.

There’s a phrase “you get what you pay for”. You’re comparing buying stuff because it was cheap to buying stuff that is more expensive but you’re saying the reason it’s better is because it’s made in america. Perhaps it’s just a higher quality product and priced accordingly, and it has nothing to do with its country of origin.

People can have accounts in multiple places.
