- cj 2y agoIs Apple’s version of this any better? Clipboard is synced between phone/computers logged into iCloud although it doesn’t log history (at least visibly)
- unilynx 2y agoIt requires iCloud but the data itself is transferred directly over Bluetooth or local WiFi (like airdrop) so it shouldn’t hit any Apple servers. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/secf78dbe639/web https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/secf78dbe639/...
- knallfrosch 2y agoSince it is also end-to-end encrypted, an architecture involving Apple server wouldn't reveal the contents either.
- ygra 2y agoClipboard history and sync across devices are both disabled by default, as far as I'm aware.
- RajT88 2y agoHmmm. My work machine had them on, but I suppose that could have been set by policy. I will check my Aya Neo later (only personal Win11 device).
- cedws 2y agoEven when not signed in with a Microsoft account?
