Usually with Pegasus. And yes it works. Don't ask about it.

Wonder if Google, Apple, or SoC makera are asked or secretly mandated to leave certain backdoors in. I know mobile providers have quite a bit they can see on their end.

It's a good thing we're always presented with two choices for everything, like mobile OS's, to control our choices like we're toddlers.

They don't really need to, the company making Pegasus is very very skilled, they however get paid for that as well, its absolutely not worth it for a normal person usually.
