I imagine it would be worse to simply decrypt these and leave them in a random folder somewhere on users’ phones in plain sight, available to any app that would read them.
Why, did it encrypt and then delete the files that it detected as important when it scanned the device? That’s just even worse.
@ReversalHatchery I don’t have access to the feature but I’m assuming the option was rather opt-in? And now they’re sending notifications to everyone affected, so it’s not like it’s doing anything the users are unaware.
I do agree they could have better explained the reason they’re choosing to delete the documents instead of decrypting them.
