I have a small question, is it okay if I ask it?
I’m using a icloud private relay.
While I’m subscribing to the cloud, I like to use it lightly, so I’m using it.
But it’s a sudden thought,
If I upload a photo to a community like Reddit, or upload a file, it’s something selected from the photo app or file app other than ‘Safari’.
I know that the private relay only works inside the safari. Then will the real IP address or personal information be revealed?
Because I took them from the photo app or file app.
However, I don’t think Apple runs such a security system. I want to study, can you tell me how it works?
I’m sorry. I didn’t have enough explanation.
It’s in the safari.
If I log in to the site in Safari. And when writing a post (with a private relay on)
I touch the add photo button and attach the photo to the post.( I don’t go out of the safari during this process. I select a photo, from the gallery that appears like a web view.)
This process is all done in the safari, but in the end, the photos were brought from the gallery (from the outside), so I wonder if the IP address will be exposed in this process.
Are you concerned about whether your IP address is leaked to the website? If so, you probably don’t need to worry since you are uploading the photo onto a website in Safari.
Regardless, you should probably just invest in a VPN. iCloud Private Relay is not a true replacement and shouldn’t be relied upon. Probably would give you a better peace of mind regardless.
The photo picker doesn’t have anything to do with whether you’re using private relay, it’s just how you upload images. If you’re in safari you’ll still be using private relay.
