Apple has halted its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) end-to-end encryption service for UK customers due to requests from the UK government for backdoor access to iCloud data. The decision comes amid increasing concerns over data privacy as breaches rise. Apple expressed disappointment, stating that users will have diminished security. Although some data will still be protected, important data types such as iCloud backups and notes will not be subject to the same level of encryption. Users who do not disable ADP will lose access to iCloud altogether.
Apple has decided to turn off its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) end-to-end encryption service for UK users amid government demands for access to customer data.
We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP will not be available to our customers in the UK given the continuing rise of data breaches.
Timely action to disable ADP for UK customers is critical, and failure to comply will block access to iCloud services.
We have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never will, ensuring user privacy.
