Hehe....people put their passwords lists in the cloud.....

Cannot agree more, I remember Apple's Federighi saying that health data is too sensitive to be stored in the cloud – later Apple promoted iCloud Keychain.

My passwords reside (encrypted by a password manager) on my devices,

But.. (seriously confused) Health Data on an iDevice != iCloud Keychain data?

Ooh, I got another privacy concern....saw this on macrumors 

“If you come across a lost AirTag, or if someone comes across your lost AirTag, it can be scanned with any smartphone that's equipped with NFC to bring up contact information.”

So if you wanted to know the contact info a person you like....then you could scan their keys, bicycles, or whatever exposed AirTag that is left alone?

Maybe? I say that because maybe until it's in 'lost mode' and away from owner it doesn't broadcast that info? E.g. I'm near my keys with an AirTag on them, it wont broadcast any details?

I thought I read that elsewhere. But I very well may have confused something else I read.

Wha???

People still use the personal information-sucking anti-privacy app known as WhatsApp?!?

Yes. I use WhatsApp every day. End to end encryption. What I care about is the content of my messages. Are you suggesting they can be seen by people who aren't the intended receivers of the contents? 

I use Telegram, Viber and Line too. 

Based on their privacy nutrition label, yes, they can see message content.  Even if they choose not to look at message content, they definitely do look at who you talked to, when and where you did so, all your contacts, and any purchases you make through the app. 

Indications are (at least when end-to-end encrypted), they cannot see message content; it's important people understand that. But they can/do see the metadata (who, when, where, etc) and there is the potential (already happening?) for FB to link that to all the other data they collect about a particular user.

That said, I try not to use WhatsApp or Messenger at all (and mostly succeed), but family outside the US is still heavy WhatsApp and I've got one (local, US) group chat that is heavy Messenger (which I need to move); only one user in that group who does not have an iPhone though his wife loves hers. Think we'll be able to bring him over to the dark side (or Apple will) at some-pint in the future.  

Add on the Signal iPad app, outside of iMessages, Singal is my preferred Messenger as well - donated some small $ towards the cause and I hope more people do to help keep them doing what they're doing. I use my iPad almost exclusively at night and still super annoyed that WhatsApp does not have an iPad app.

I see it in the Face Gallery under New in watchOS. First face there...

The conspiracy theorist in me almost wonders if they have people tweet from iPhones for the additional coverage it generates.

Aside from an earlier mention here on AI about the event, there probably wouldn't have been another mention of the event until it happened, but now... here we are talking about it, or here I am commenting about it anyway. 😅
