Apple will require law enforcement to obtain a court order before the company hands over details of customers’ push notifications from now on. As Reuters reports, Apple quietly updated its guidelines for law enforcement page on Monday with language specifying that search warrants and court orders are now required for it to give up “The Apple ID associated with” an Apple Push Notification Service token. The new policy follows revelations that both Apple and Google have been providing details about the notifications to governments.

I find this very hard to believe. Sounds like sugar coating to me.
Perhaps they don’t need to give up the Apple ID when other metadata will help identify users.

Never too late to adopt #GrapheneOS.

I read in a previous article that they provided the information when required by subpoena or warrant. Not sure much has changed other than publicly stating requirements.
Also, definitely be careful about which apps you use. Any dev could put you at risk of sensitive data being leaked to Apple or elsewhere.
