Android:
iOS:
iOS has a built in feature as well, which Apple claims is private.
Private until apple gets a subpoena from a prosecutor in some medieval christo-fascist red state trying to turn a miscarriage into a murder charge.
I mean, Apple also provides E2EE cloud backups. Assuming it is properly encrypted without backdoors, Apple could only “comply” with a subpoena by turning over the encrypted data blob. The feddy bois would only get the digital equivalent of white noise unless they could decrypt it.
Apple employs on-device storage. Don’t use iCloud backup. I don’t know how the listed apps work, but if there’s a cloud sync, the same thing applies to them - and they’re less able to fight it should they choose to.
