Apple has put a lot of emphasis on security over the past few years, and the release of iOS 17.2 comes with a brand new feature. Contact Key Verification (CKV) is a new setting for iMessage, which ensures you can be certain that the person you’re messaging is who you think they are.
Simply put, the feature is designed to keep unwanted parties out of your private conversations. Whether they’re simplifying snooping on what’s going on, or actively attempting to trick you into thinking they’re someone else. It’s not something you really need to be worried about, but it is available for your own peace of mind.
