Edit: I need to read up and differentiate

  1. Universal clipboard
  2. Handoff
  3. Continuity
  4. anything else?

My mistake definitely for not trying to clarify these disparate terms beforehand. Thanks, I will try to do that

Read the link I provided. Apple documents the security mechanisms of how a lot of their services work. Universal Clipboard (and handoff) does not use iMessage.

You may find additional things documented here:

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web

This whole area of their support site is well worth the read if you are concerned about security and privacy.

I've read a lot of their whitepapery security stuff but my understanding and differentiation of terms like "Continuity", "Handoff", "Universal ______", "Airplay" vs "Screen Mirroring" etc needs revision and reconsolidation.
