iPhone secretly sends call history to Apple even when iCloud backup switched off (theintercept.com)

should probably only have this story or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12977612

I kinda assumed that after I had my call history on my Mac and iPad Facetime apps, since it is possible to call using any iOS/macOS device in the network.

You don't always have the phone reachable, so I assumed it syncs over iCloud.

To complete the headline, only when iCloud is enabled. Anyone especially concerned about privacy shouldn't be using iCloud anyway, but it definitely needs more fine-grained control.
