Well, not everyone, just Apple customers in this particular instance, but I suppose that is a lot of people

Well, UK Apple customers, and anyone who communicates with a UK Apple customer who uses iCloud to back up their messages. Time to make your Apple wielding friend from the UK switch to Signal, if you haven't already.

Pictures you send them in signal will still be backed up to iCloud if they save them to photos. As default signal doesn’t do this I believe - but worth mentioning.

Absolutely worth mentioning, yes.
