Here’s my stupid story of the day...

At work, on the work WiFi. (Which is rare for me and I always turn off my WiFi at work...except today..of course.) I wanted to send a url from a craigslist post to a friend using iMessage. I pressed “paste” a url popped up and I hit send. Just as I realized it was a link to a NSFW site that I had previously messaged and was meant for someone else. The iPhones messanger preview added the picture in the text thread too. Luckily it was a good buddy and we got a good laugh out of the mistake. But I’m worried that by pasting the site from clipboard, and sending it while on work WiFi that I am going to get popped.

The answer to this question is a yes-no.

iMessage is implemented in an end-to-end encryption structure. This means that the messages are only decrypted by your device (or iCloud account).

You can read more about iMessage encryption here.

However, there is no way to be sure, unless you are aware of how WiFi usage is monitored by your employer. There is a high chance that they can see all what you do. This is because they own the actual network.
