Advanced Data Protection Issue/Bug With the latest release of iOS and MacOS, I enabled Advanced Data Protection from my Mac without issue and setup a recovery key for the account. 2 Days later I woke to my iphone (latest iOS) telling me that I needed to setup a recovery key. I figured it might be due to different OS, so I went through the procedure on the phone and created another recovery key for the account. It reported that everything was fine and I got an email saying "A New Recovery Key has been activated". But now the phone is still prompting me to create another Recovery key or emergency contact. I went online to the AppleID support page and confirmed there that a recovery key was activated (it does not allow you to see how many or to view them). Why would iOS not recognize the recovery key? I verified that all other iCloud features are working without issue.

Update your devices simply means install the latest compatible iOS or MacOS versions on your devices.
