PSA for iOS and macOS users: there are two recent opt-in security features you can turn on easily for a significant upgrade in security.

Advanced Data Protection — end-to-end encryption for iCloud data (incl. backups!)

Contact Key Verification — key transparency and verification codes for iMessage

@filippo I’ve had mixed success with ADP. After turning it on via my iPhone I couldn’t authorise viewing files via iCloud.com. The process got stuck somehow. Curious to hear whether others have better luck!

@lmb @filippo icloud.com did work fine for me when I tried.

I keep the setting that allows it disabled after initial testing. I consider it a feature that the web access is not available.

Going back to ”no ADP” is available in case it’s not for you.
