Yeah I wasn't sure how they claim iCloud Photos is E2EE, on your side there, but the iMessage thing is obvious, if information is leaving me it's going to someone and becomes that persons information. Not much you can do about that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did specifically choose not to mention Photos for that reason.

- rekoil 3y agoYeah. I don't think this is done out of malice though, Apple has literally hundreds of millions of customers, not being able to restore access to the majority of these due to lost passwords would risk losing customers which they can't have. That said I think the benefits of Advanced Data Protection should be more clearly explained to users and the feature should be more prominently presented during onboarding, both new users but also existing users when the feature was rolled out.
