Reset end to end encryption

Why does my phone keep asking me to reset this? Will I lose all my photos, contacts, etc if I reset end to end encryption? Lastly, how do you reset ?

Hello SAHasty,


When did this message come up? Was it after restoring an iPhone or setting up a new one? Also, what's going on with your iPhone when this comes up, such as being in a specific app or function?


Details about end to end can be found at iCloud data security overview - Apple Support. Per that page, "End-to-end encrypted data can be decrypted only on your trusted devices where you’re signed in with your Apple ID. No one else can access your end-to-end encrypted data — not even Apple — and this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. If you lose access to your account, only you can recover this data, using your device passcode or password, recovery contact, or recovery key."


Cheers!
