    Correct, standard iCloud data is accessible with a warrant. But the UK wanted their own backdoor so they have constant access without a warrant.

    But with advanced data protection, Apple can’t provide the data because they don’t have the encryption keys, regardless of a warrant.

    Important to note iMessage is always E2E encrypted though, so iMessages cannot be accessed even with a warrant. Advanced data protection just expands that to all iCloud data

      Okay interesting, thank you for the info.

      Who even uses iMessage these days? Pretty sure I turned it off completely because it was messing with the 5 SMS I send in a year …
