What happened
Apple says that from iOS 27.3 and other 27.3 updates, items shared through iCloud with anyone who has the link will be made available to Apple so it can check them for harmful content. Those shared items will no longer be protected by end-to-end encryption, which means only the sender and recipient can read them.

What to do
- Review any iCloud items you share with Anyone with the Link, since they will no longer be end-to-end encrypted after 27.3.
- Consider switching sensitive shares to restricted access instead of link-based sharing.
