Apple According to a report by 9to5Mac, it seems to have made bookmarks on the Safari browser end-to-end encrypted with the iOS 15 rollout. The report is based on the claims of SoleSolace, a Reddit user on the social platform, where he mentioned that Safari Bookmarks are listed as end-to-end encrypted iCloud security overview.
He has this to say about Safari bookmarks getting end-to-end encryption.
“First, only Safari History And iCloud Tabs Were. The update was from September 19 to September 25 (presumably with the release of iOS 15).
They also no longer specifically state which iOS version is required for each individual service to be end-to-end encrypted. So, I’m curious if bookmark syncing works between iOS 15 and iOS 14 or Safari 14 on macOS.
The iCloud Security page lists “Safari History, Tab Groups, and iCloud Tabs” as end-to-end encrypted. The tab group may be what it is referring to as a bookmark.
There appears to be a hidden information about Safari Bookmarks iOS 15 receiving end-to-end encryption. A list of services and apps that are encrypted end-to-end by Apple can be viewed by visiting the iCloud Security Overview page. This includes data and services such as Apple Card transactions, health data, home data, Keychain, Maps Favorites, Memoji, Messages in iCloud, payment information, QuickType keyboard learned vocabulary, and more of them. Safari Bookmarks is the new entry in that list.
With end-to-end encryption activated for a particular feature or service, you must use two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Apple ID and set up a passcode on your Apple device. Apple advises users to timely update the software on their devices, use 2FA for Apple ID, and use a passcode/password/FaceID/TouchID to keep their data secure.
