How to Enable End-to-End Encryption for iCloud Backups

With the release of iOS 16.3 and macOS 13.2, Apple is introducing Advanced Protection for iCloud, which uses end-to-end encryption to provide Apple’s highest level of cloud data security yet.

The new security feature ensures users will have the choice to further protect their important iCloud data, including iCloud Backup, Photos, Notes, and more.

Apple’s use of end-to-end encryption means the vast majority of your most sensitive iCloud data can only be decrypted on your trusted Apple devices where you’re signed in with your Apple ID account, ensuring that the data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. In other words, no-one – not even Apple – can access your data except you.

iCloud already protects 14 sensitive data categories using end-to-end encryption by default, including passwords in iCloud Keychain and Health data. For users who enable Advanced Data Protection, the total number of data categories protected using end-to-end encryption rises to 23, including iCloud Backup, Notes, and Photos.

How to Enable Account Recovery on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Before turning on Advanced Data Protection, you’ll need to set up Account Recovery. This ensures you can recover your data if you forget your password.
