iCloud Gets a Security Upgrade - MacSparky

  • The following features [will, by early 2023] have end-to-end encryption on iCloud:

    • Device Backups
    • Messages Backups
    • iCloud Drive
    • Notes
    • Photos
    • Reminders
    • Safari Bookmarks
    • Siri Shortcuts
    • Voice Memos
    • Wallet Passes
  • End-to-end encryption means your data can’t be viewed on the server in these categories (if you opt in). Put simply, Apple will no longer be able to see the above categories of data. If Apple gets hacked in the future, the bad guys can’t see your data either.
