For those who use an iPhone or iPad, Apple has an update to 16.2 that has a very good data encryption method were Apple DOES NOT have your encryption keys!!

I just now updated my phone.

The new encryption must be turned on manually after update. It is hidden in Settings, apple id iCloud media & purchases menu tree.

I trust the Apple users have heard about the upcoming #spyphone problem in the next iOS and macOS major releases so I will not rehash that here.

More on the upcoming Apple iOS / macOS photo #spyphone problem. It seems this malware/spyware will violate your privacy IF you use iCloud Photo Library (I am still looking to verify this). Well, you can turn this OFF. I had it shut already since I use Adobe and not Apple photo software on my mac.

Here is a good article on how to turn if off:
