Apple drops encryption feature for UK users after government reportedly demanded backdoor access

  • Apple will remove its end-to-end encryption feature known as Advanced Device Protection in the UK after the government demanded a backdoor for law enforcement access to user data.
  • Apple stated that building a backdoor compromises user security, contradicting its commitment to privacy and security.
  • The UK government's request has been condemned by privacy advocates, including Amnesty International, for being disproportionate and harmful to user data protections.
  • Users in the UK will need to disable the advanced security feature during a grace period as Apple prepares to phase out this service for existing accounts.
