You're thread-sliding, friend, and trying to diminish the major blow-up here. ALL notifications from banks, WhatsApp, Telegram you name it are stored indefinitely, and anyone with physical access to the phone and a cable can extract your entire history. This is NOT the same as them being stored at Apple or the NSA. Any shithead with a cable can do it.

So we are talking about that any police with a cable can read ALL my past notifications, WhatsApp, Telegram, all banks? Like indefinitely in the past? And there is no way to flush the database? Wow thanks Apple.

I was getting $3-5k bills from Azure and AWS several times without being viral just because I enabled some wrong features. Luckily they refunded them. I don't want that crap anymore. We also tried to run on AWS EC2 for a while and it was costing us 10 times more than a dedicated server that we got later on. Ridiculous. Now I have a backup server on Azure just because they give me $50 credits and it's a basic VM with a 1Tb slow disk attracted and they manage to charge me $70 for this, when I can buy a box at https://www.kimsufi.com/en/servers.xml for 5-7 EUR. I think cloud is for idiots
