Basically just the title, delete this if it’s not the right community.

I hate iphones and apple stuff for obvious reasons. But I am forced to use it to some degree. I just want to get a community consensus on any problems with signal being shared, seen, monitored, or sent to apple servers or icloud while being used on an iphone.

    Signal explicitly doesn’t allow its files to be uploaded to iCloud. You practically will be fine using it on iOS. Unless you are in China which has its own iCloud/Apple servers, or the UK where Apple disabled advanced data protection.

    What difference does ADP make if your Signal chats are never stored in iCloud? Are they stored in cloud backups?

      You’re correct, it doesn’t make a difference in regards to signal.

      I meant it more as a general iPhone use. Your iPhone with ADP off is uploading everything to Apple iCloud unencrypted. By default only your passwords & health app data is encrypted.
