Seems like.
However, the barrier for that seems somewhat higher than an intercept or
pen register. (Entering into full speculation mode here) I suspect that
one would need a direct court order akin to a full search & seizure in
order to give the feds access to the messages; it seems to involve
handing over the entire device key to clone the full personality.
The original CNN article doesn't pass muster, a far more skeptical and
analytical one is here:
