Apple stops weirdly storing data that let cops spy on Signal chats
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Apple fixed a bug that allowed law enforcement to access content from deleted Signal messages via the iPhone push notification database. The bug was brought to light after 404 Media cited FBI testimony indicating that copies of incoming Signal messages could be recovered even after the app was deleted. Apple confirmed the fix, describing the issue as a logging error that should not have preserved notification content, and noted that patched devices will delete affected data and prevent future retention.
