I just checked my keychain, and I have 33 entries for "iMessage Signing Key" and another 33 entries for "iMessage Encryption Key" despite NEVER opening Messages.app.

Should I be worried? Can I delete them without causing problems?

Edit: Just tried first aid and got this warning:
Keychain can't be unlocked automatically. Please attempt to unlock [redacted] from Keychain Access.

Even though the keychain was already unlocked before trying first aid (yet somehow locked partway through).

I have the same problem. After each restart 4 iMessage related entries are added to the keychain. Besides that Messaging works
