Apple is expanding its platform safety measures by monitoring publicly shared cloud content. According to a report from 9to5Mac, the company will begin checking public iCloud links for harmful material starting with an upcoming iOS release.
The feature is aimed at preventing the misuse of iCloud's sharing capabilities for distributing prohibited or malicious files. Because these links are accessible to the public, they are subject to different safety and moderation standards compared to private, end-to-end encrypted user data.
While Apple has not yet detailed the specific scanning methods or all categories of flagged material, the move aligns with broader industry efforts to curb abusive online content while maintaining core user privacy safeguards.
