Keeping users’ data privacy in mind, Apple recently rolled out end-to-end encryption for the iCloud platform. While the feature has been introduced, it needs to be enabled manually by the user to take advantage of it.
The feature, which is called Advanced Data Protection, when enabled, converts data into a form that can only be unlocked with a passcode and since the user is the only entity with access to that passcode, no one else can access the data, not even Apple.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily enable the end-to-end encryption through the Advanced Data Protection feature for iCloud on your Apple iPhone.
