By violating the application sandbox!!!
Some E2EE messenger apps have "data at rest" encryption of local messages. How is Apple protecting the spidered app data?

> Amid an unprecedented cyberattack on telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon, U.S. officials have recommended that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to ensure their communications stay hidden from foreign hackers. The hacking campaign, nicknamed Salt Typhoon by Microsoft, is one of the largest intelligence compromises in U.S. history, and it has not yet been fully remediated.
- aprilnya 2y agoDo you actually have any reason to think it reads notification contents? This feature has never done anything that made me think it is. (genuine question, I’m in the EU and we don’t have Apple Intelligence here)

- walterbell 2y agoTo be precise, there are two functions, both defaulting on for Siri, each requiring manual, per-application, opt out: 1. "Learn from this app", uses NSUserActivity API: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/Activities.html https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ge... 2. "Show content in Search", uses Apple Spotlight to index all app data. For an E2EE messenger, that is not only notifications, but all text/image/audio data in message history. As stated at the top of this subthread, these menu options preceded Apple Intelligence by several years. Implementation would have changed over time.
