Apparently Apple can end-to-end encrypt your iCloud, but it’s opt in because they still want to profit off your data >_<

To enable this, go to Settings -> iCloud -> Advanced Data Protection

You need to have all the devices under your apple account to be fully updated, and you’ll need to remember a 28-key passphrase for recovery

I hate how big tech treats privacy as an afterthought. This should have been the default. But oh well. Spread the world people.

    Yep, you can’t trust it. Same as WhatsApp backups on Google Cloud. The key is uploaded to Google too. That’s why people can restore the backup on their new phone without manually backing up the private key somewhere. Of course that means Google has access to all their WhatsApp history.
