With Apple's iCloud, it's easy to download photos from your online photo library to any device. If you own an iPhone, iPad, or Mac this can be set up to happen automatically. From a Windows computer, there are a few more steps required and the same is true for an Android phone or tablet.

Apple has acknowledged that the way it announced its plans to automatically scan iPhone photo libraries to protect children from abusive content may have introduced "confusion" and explains how it is designed to prevent abuse by authoritarian governments.

Just one day after Apple confirmed that it plans to roll out new software that will detect child abuse imagery on iPhones, WhatsApp's head took to Twitter to call out the move as a "surveillance system" that could be abused.

Like many other photo loving enthusiasts, I carry a large number of photographs around on my iPhone.

I'm serious, they don't. They don't know that they don't, but they don't. If you grab a co-workers iPhone and they have 2500 photos on the camera roll, then you know they don't. They'll just keep taking photos and assume "the cloud" or whatever is backing it up.

For a time, it is.
