Apple has decided to deactivate the Advanced Data Protection (ADP), one of the most powerful security services of iCloud, in response to the requests of the UK government to access user data. This feature that allows iCloud data to end -to -end is no longer accessible upon the insistence of England.

Apple took back for the first time

For the kidnappers, Apple has expanded iCloud’s end -to -end encryption support thanks to the advanced data protection (ADP) system, which it was available in 2022. However, this feature, as expected, was met with reaction in many countries, especially the USA and the UK. Because this backup process provides protection in a way that even Apple cannot reach.

Now this feature has been surprised by the British rear door or encrypted data requested. When the iPhone, iPad or MAC users in the UK are no longer trying to activate the ADP, they encounter a notification of “feature does not work”. For those who have previously activated ADP, there is a different situation. Apple wants these users to manually disable the end -to -end encryption to protect their iCloud accounts.

In the meantime, let’s say that end -to -end encryption protection is only disabled in the iCloud. Many services such as imessage, health data and passwords continue to be protected by end -to -end encryption by default. Apple, on the other hand, stressed that it has not created a rear door for any product or service so far and that such a thing will not be involved in the future.

In addition, the news about the British rear door demand emerged for the first time last week, and the government officials sent a “technical talent notification” to the company under the country’s investigation powers. In this statement, it is stated that the right to access encrypted data against a possible security threat is requested.
