My friend is convinced of something and I don’t believe he is correct. But I want make sure. We send texts back and forth and every now and then we send some NSFW stuff and personal medical stuff regarding his moms treatment for cancer. Well he got a company email that any device on their servers are and can be scanned and transmissions from said devices also reviewed. He has no cell service in his office so he connects to their WiFi. Can his office see what is sent through iMessage or Texts in plain English or would it be encrypted? If not besides not sending NSFW what can be done and do they even legally have a right to view personal corespondents? Thanks for any input.

iMessage is encrypted end-to-end so theoretically it cannot be decrypted while it's going between devices.
