> Is HTTPS mandatory for all iOS apps now?
It is mandatory by default, but you can carve out exceptions. It appears Google has simply followed Apple's lead there.
(Making it mandatory with no exceptions is impractical as some apps are designed to connect to servers not under the developer's control.)

No, just slowly catching up.

AFAIK, iOS will not do client-side encryption for iTunes backups (which is the equivalent to what's being talked about here) since iTunes still asks for a password to encrypt your backups. Although, I'm pretty sure it does for iCloud ones.
- iknowstuff 9y agoActually, iCloud backups are not end to end encrypted, which is a massive hole in Apple's privacy stance.
