Does all of that matter if an attacker has access to your device and can take screenshots of your conversations, or read those conversations out of memory in their unencrypted state?
- jesseendahl 1y agoNo it doesn't — that's a totally different threat model. Advanced Data Protection is mostly concerned with protecting data from attackers on the server and in transit. If you're interested in protections when an attacker has physical access to your device, you should read the "Encryption and Data Protection" section of Apple's Platform Security Guide.

- BobaFloutist 1y agoThe difference is that if the NSA has physical access to my phone, I'm probably aware of it. It makes routine fishing expeditions across broad populations much harder and more expensive, as well as easier to oppose. If they can fish remotely and automatically, accountability goes completely out the window.
