What happened
Apple plans to scan files that people share using public iCloud links, meaning links that anyone can open. Apple says it will look for 'harmful content' but has not said what that means or how the checks will work. Files shared privately with specific people are not covered by the plan.

What to do
- Review any files you currently share using 'Anyone with the Link' in iCloud and remove public links you no longer need.
- Avoid using public iCloud share links for sensitive or private material, since Apple says these items are not end-to-end encrypted.
- Keep an eye on the version 27.3 release in December and review Apple's updated documentation once it is published.
