Quick-fire questions

How well protected is iCloud Secure Backup?

> Data, particularly ‘keybags’ used to access private information, is encrypted before being sent to iCloud, where it remains encrypted. Secure backup only occurs when a device is locked, connected to a power source and has a Wi-Fi connection. Together these ensure that even Apple doesn’t have access to data.

How to keep Notes on my iPhone rather than iCloud?

> First enable local storage of notes. Go to Settings > Notes, then enable ‘On My iPhone’ Account. To make that the normal location for storing notes, set it as the Default Account. Ensure that you back your iPhone up carefully then, as local notes aren’t stored on iCloud otherwise.
