Turn THIS on if you use iCloud!

Thanks to powerful marketing, privacy is something we’ve come to immediately associate with Apple. But your iCloud is probably NOT as private as you think.

Last year, Apple added E2EE for iCloud backups, with a tool called "Advanced Data Protection”. This setting means that your documents, photos, and other personal information in iCloud are kept private and out of the reach of even Apple itself.

BUT, this setting is NOT turned on by default.

Unless you have specifically turned on the setting, and set backup users or codes, everything in your iCloud can be read by Apple. And regardless of whether Advanced Data Protection is enabled, some things in the Apple ecosystem are never E2EE, and it's important to know what they are.

In this video we explain exactly what is being protected with Advanced Data Protection, how to turn it on, its limitations, and other options that you might use for your backups instead.

Don’t presume that your iPhone is more private than it actually is. If you use Apple's iCloud, absolutely make sure that you have Advanced Data Protection turned on.

wow, I didn't know these details
Much obliged for the video and the article!

Does it really work like that? I was sure that iCloud itself is secure enough and stores all my data under reliable protection systems. I googled more info about iCloud like this https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-manage-icloud-storage-on-mac, but there's more about how to store, delete, upload, manage free space, and all that stuff. Useful info, but not a word about this function. Good thing I found this post!
