can one actually disable iMessage on their iPhones? At this point I only use WhatsApp, I couldn't care less about super SMS.

EDIT: found it. For anyone who's interested:

> Turn off iMessage:

> On your iPhone, go to Settings.

> Tap Messages.

> Set iMessage to Off.

It seems that even turning off iMessage is not enough ?

This a zero-click exploit, which means you don't even have to open the message to get hacked.

It means it runs through iMessage. Whether the "turn off iMessage" feature is enough I don't know. But if turning off iMessage actually stops any messages and SMS/MMS etc from running through iMessage at all, it's a pretty decent bet.
