Interesting, so this is an opt-in (not default secure).

- theshrike79 4y agoFor now, they'll make it opt-out when a large enough user base is at those OS versions.

- tiffanyh 4y agoI don't understand. This is an opt-in, not opt-out.
- theshrike79 4y agoIt's currently opt-in, because a significant percentage of the user base is not running an OS version that can support the E2EE features. When that percentage is high enough (a few years), I don't see why Apple wouldn't make it opt-out. (Default it to encrypted, you need to specifically disable it if you don't want it).
- tiffanyh 4y agoWouldn't the easier option just be to make it actually enabled for all devices that can support it. Why does what % of the user base who's running the support OS versions make any difference?
- netheril96 4y agoThen people will complain about their lost data. This will stay opt-in for a long time.
- Gigachad 4y agoProbably concerns about people losing data. Probably the vast majority of people would rather someone gains access to their photos than having their files lost
