What exactly do you mean by that?—Ji Yong Dijkhuis from Lelystad, Netherlands</i><div><br></div><div>A: WhatsApp messages are fully encrypted. This means that the contents of those messages can only be seen by you and the intended recipient.</div><div><br></div><div>But when you enable a feature called Chat Backup, which syncs your message and media history to iCloud (for iPhones) or Google Drive (for Android phones), then that content is no longer protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption. This is also the case when iCloud sync is turned on for iMessage. So, if someone got access to either of those cloud accounts, they would also be able to read your backed-up WhatsApps or iMessages.</div><div><br></div><div>It’s one of the reasons why privacy advocates recommend Signal, which I wrote about last week. Signal doesn’t allow you to backup to the cloud, but you can transfer local Signal data between your old device and your new one.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Q: A critical security feature in clipboard managers is that the user be able to exclude apps from capture, like password managers.—Andrew Wolfe from New Orleans</i></div><div><br></div><div>A: I completely agree and am glad you mentioned this. In last week’s newsletter, I recommended an app I’ve been a longtime fan of: Copy’em Paste ($15), a powerful clipboard manager for Mac. One of the application’s most important features is indeed its ability to blacklist password managers and other sensitive apps.</div><div><br></div><div>According to the app’s privacy, all clippings are stored locally, unless you turn on syncing, which stores a copy of your clippings in iCloud. (Make sure to turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.) </div><div><br></div><div><b><u>References:</u></b></div><div><ul><li>https://www.wsj.com/articles/signal-the-pros-and-cons-of-a-truly-private-chat-app-11592127002<br></li><li>https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages<br></li><li>https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fun-math-games/id876540291</li><li>https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915</li></ul></div></div><img align="left" width="0" height="0" style="border:0;width:0px;height:0px" src="https://track.mixmax.com/api/track/v2/tlPOUioodqNK4aB5W/i02bj5CbpFWbnB0c55WYw12bjlnI/IyZy9mLoNWZ052bpRXYyVmYpxmLzR3cpxGQ0xmI/gIUxkI?sc=false" alt=""> <!--[if mso]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
