I know of no messaging app the “automatically” uploads to iCloud. And what sort of idiot would try and send CP using a messenger app (almost all of which CASM detection). That’s like trying to smuggle drugs past the TSA so you can put them in someone’s house to frame them.
- vmladenov 5y agoThe app doesn’t. The iOS camera roll uploads newly captured or saved images when it connects to Wi-Fi.
- celeritascelery 5y agoIf you choose to save it, then you no longer a “victim”. But someone else can’t force a save to iCloud on your device.
- vmladenov 5y agoSure, but some apps allow you to choose once and henceforth save all photos sent to you. That provides a vector for someone to inject things into your iCloud. However, I find this risk exaggerated because if someone actually does this, you can just block the app’s ability to access your camera roll in the privacy settings or stop using the app. And report the user to the service, of course.
