iOS 16.3 is a step forward in privacy

These two announcements came shortly after the launch of iOS 16.3, a version that, among other innovations, allows enable end-to-end encryption for all iCloud services –announced December 2022–.

The difference between point-to-point and standard encryption is simple: in the first case Apple does not have the keys needed to decrypt content stored on its servers. Only the owner has this password.

Until now, end-to-end encryption only applies to services such as iCloud Keychain where passwords are stored. However, with this new feature, the brand allows its customers to apply the same level of security to any information or content they upload to their servers.

Of course: Apple warns that if the owner activates this option and forgets the password, There is nothing you can do to recover information stored in iCloud.. Hence, this is another option instead of the default.
