No, it’s the opposite. Apple argued strongly that passkeys are intended to be a replacement for passwords and so must be syncable. And that’s how it’s implemented on Apple OSes. It syncs to iCloud Keychain or your password manager, and so that same passkey is available on all your devices. It’s not even locked into Apple’s ecosystem because of cross-platform password managers.

    I think you described what Apple implemented for its Declared Age Range API. The API has one additional privacy protection, which is that the API only gives age bracket information rather than precise age.

    This RCA message archiving feature is on “fully managed” Pixel devices, which are COBO: corporate owned, business only. You shouldn’t be doing anything personal on such devices.

    There’s also “work profile” which is a different kind of management for mixed personal and work use. With work profile, the admin has no visibility into the personal side of the device.

    It’s simplest and safest to follow what you wrote and never bring personal and work anywhere near each other. But there’s downsides to that, like having to carry two phones. I think there’s some situations where most people will feel safe doing personal things on a work device.
