In Vietnam, iMessage must comply with Decree 13/2023. iMessage is highly secure with strong end-to-end encryption for Apple-to-Apple communication. However, iCloud backups can compromise this security, and SMS fallback is unencrypted. Users in Vietnam may have additional rights regarding data access and deletion.
