According to reports, the UK and the US have held private talks to resolve the Apple encryption order issue. Earlier, the British government ordered to force Apple to create a backdoor for it, requiring the company to provide the UK security department with access to Apple iCloud encrypted user data around the world, including device backups that may include contact lists, locations, and messages. The British government defended this request by invoking the Investigative Powers Act, but Apple never cooperated. Apple then removed the “Advanced Data Protection” feature from the UK market, thereby denying the government access to encrypted data.
