Apple has spent years championing privacy and creating tools and options for the user to ensure their data is protected. Not just theirs, but their children, for example, with the latest parental control features. However, the flagship tool arrived just a month ago with the release of iOS 16.2 and Advanced iCloud data protection. An extension of end-to-end encryption of almost everything in iCloud that allowed users exclusive access to their information, no one else could access it in any way. That bundle privacy tools will now expand to more countries with the arrival of iOS 16.3 in the coming weeks.
Stronger encryption and more security for users with iCloud Advanced Data Protection
iCloud Advanced Data Protection is a optional configuration offering the highest level of data security in the Apple cloud. When this function is activated, the vast majority of data stored in your iCloud account is end-to-end encrypted ynNo one else can access this data, not even Apple, and this data remains secure even in the event of a cloud data breach. We say the vast majority because some data is exempt from this security: iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.
Indeed, many applications or third-party companies need to use these platforms for their proper functioning. When advanced data protection is enabled access to your account information via iCloud.com is also disabled to ensure that the data is only visible from your devices.
