I'm not condoning Apple's decision to not perform end-to-end encryption on iCloud backups, but they would be pretty useless if they didn't include call logs and text messages. If I lose my phone and restore from a backup on a new one, I want my old text messages as much as any other piece of data.
- grawprog 6y agoGoogle, not that I typically support things they do, found a way to do both: https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9149304?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9149304?co=GENIE... As far as I know, appleid's have some kind of password/authentication system that could be used to encrypt backups.
- dubcanada 6y agoIt doesn't say it stores text messages? It says it stores text messages on Android which means they are not backed up. It also says you use Android messenger which hooks up to Google's services. The text messages have to be stored somewhere.

You don't need to turn on Google One's backup to save this data. App data Call history Contacts Settings SMS messages Note, "by Android", not "on Android" as you claim.
- snazz 6y agoIt's certainly technically possible for Apple to encrypt iCloud backups the same way that they do with Keychain and iMessage (when backups are disabled).
