Apple quietly updated its guidelines for law enforcement page on Monday with language specifying that search warrants and court orders are now required for it to give up 'The Apple ID associated with' an Apple Push Notification Service token.
Apps can 'push' notifications to your phone so that you receive alerts, like a text message or incoming email, even when the app itself isn't open. But the process involves potentially sensitive information being shared with Apple and Google, including metadata 'detailing which app received a notification and when, as well as the phone and associated Apple or Google account to which that notification was intended to be delivered,' as Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week.
