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 wanted to like contact key verification but so far I didn’t find anyone to test it with. Some couldn’t turn it on because of unknown reason (maybe management profile? don’t know just didn’t work), others had one device on the account thay doesn’t support it yet, and some just didn’t care. I think one person did enable it but I don’t see them as validated, but I could be wrong.
