With iOS 16.2, Apple has introduced their new "Advanced Data Protection" feature, which is just a fancy way of saying a more encrypted iCloud. Learn what this means for you and get a step-by-step tutorial for how you can turn it on for your own iPhone or Mac.

Thanks for a very clear video. I do have another question. If I lose access to all my Apple devices, let say from fire or otherwise destroyed, can I still access iCloud from a web browser ? Is the problem the fact that because I don't have any devices I won't have any means to access 2FA and therefore I will need a recovery key from a trusted contact (previously set up) or fill in the long recovery key ?

Just an FYI to anyone with an older device on your iCloud account that isn't compatible with Advanced Data Encryption, if you remove that device from your iCloud and enable encryption on your iCloud there is a very good chance you will NOT be able to re-add that device if you turn the encryption off. Apple instructions on disabling the Advanced Data Encryption imply that older devices can be on your account if the encryption is off, however I am now locked out of my iCloud account on my Mac Mini late 2014 even with the data encryption off. I removed it from my iCloud during the process of enabling the data encryption so maybe if you remove the older device prior to beginning the process it would be OK but I can't verify that would work either.

@mgaming7 Жыл бұрын

I bet SOOOO many people end up locking themselves out of their accounts with this. I get why Apple allows it. I understand why people should use it, but most people don't even know how to manage their simple 8 digit password, much less a password, a pin code and keeping track of a 28 character key.... I would advise that only with extensive data protection knowledge, do this. Don't go to mom's house and encrypt her phone and lose all her stuff.

It can’t be updated anywhere near the latest OS, therefore I can’t do the step you described in the video making your other devices compatible. And I don’t want to remove that old MacBook from my account, it’s a little slow but is otherwise fine. So no new improved security for me until that device finally craps out.

Make it difficult for them to change it by blocking iCloud account changes. Settings > Screen Time Make sure your screen time passcode is different from your iPhone passcode. This is to prevent that thief from accessing the following control. Content & Privacy Restrictions > Passcode Changes > Don’t allow This is to prevent someone changing the passcode or face id. To change it after, just come back to this setting. Then go to Account Changes and tap Don’t Allow. This blocks access to the iCloud profile at the top of the main page in Settings. To access it later, just come back to this setting.
