Apple users are facing issues with iCloud Drive.

The examples follow the update to iOS 16.3, which made security changes to enable physical security keys to secure accounts and extend advanced data protection outside the US.

As AppleInsider reports, after updating to iOS 16.3, some iCloud users have reported that they’re experiencing problems with iCloud Drive, photos, and backup uploads, and it appears to be related to the absence of two-factor authentication. .

The examples follow the update to iOS 16.3, which made security changes to enable physical security keys to secure accounts and extend advanced data protection outside the US.

As users report, they see a message saying, “An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.”

In most cases, two-factor authentication doesn’t activate, which is a common thread in users’ reports. However, there are some reports of users experiencing the same issue despite two-factor authentication being already enabled, so it could be possible that the cause is something else.

The report states that it appears that some users have attempted to contact Apple’s support for assistance, indicating that the tech giant is aware that something is happening with the system.

Last month, the iPhone maker announced that it is expanding its Advanced Data Protection option for users globally.

Meanwhile, in December last year, the tech giant had fixed a zero-day security vulnerability in its latest iOS software update, which was actively exploited on most iPhones.
