Unlock Peace of Mind: Enable iPhone Encryption Protection Today!

Apple’s Encryption Conundrum: What You Need to Know

The recent order from the UK government, as my colleague Sebastian wrote, would force Apple to create a backdoor for iPhone and iPad users worldwide. This means that any iPhone and iPad content backed up in iCloud, regardless of encryption, would be accessible by UK law enforcement agencies. Apple would be blocked from warning users that their iCloud data is no longer as secure as they thought.

What’s at Stake?

The list of data at risk includes:

• Device Backup
• Messages Backup
• iCloud Drive
• Notes
• Photos
• Reminders
• Safari Bookmarks
• Siri Shortcuts
• Voice Memos
• Wallet Passes

Advanced Data Protection: Your Solution

Advanced Data Protection (ADP) is a feature that applies end-to-end encryption on some of your sensitive iCloud data. To enable ADP, go to Settings > Tap your name > Tap iCloud > Scroll down, tap Advanced Data Protection, then tap Turn on Advanced Data Protection > Follow the directions on how to set up your recovery methods and enable ADP.

What You Need to Enable ADP

To set up ADP, you’ll need:

• An Apple Account with two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled
• A passcode or password set on all your devices
• An account recovery contact or recovery key, which you can set up during the ADP setup process
• iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, or newer, and watchOS 9.2 or newer

Key Takeaways

• Enabling ADP means you’ll be responsible for your data recovery
• Apple would not be able to access your encrypted data, even if forced to by law
• Speculation that Apple would remove end-to-end encryption from UK iCloud accounts is unlikely, as it would affect all iCloud users worldwide
