A unique device-specific iOS key is stored in the secure hardware. Encryption keys for individual files are derived from this unique device key.

However, with on-device encryption, the user’s key is stored on their actual device instead of in Google’s digital systems.

The data on an iOS 4 device is encrypted using a key that's derived from your 4-digit passcode, meaning there's only 10,000 possible encryption keys.

The “Set up on-device encryption” process can be initiated from either the Chrome desktop/mobile browser or Password Manager (website or built-in Android experience).

Since the advent of iOS 4 in June 2010, Apple has been able to secure data on compatible devices using a hardware encryption system called Data Protection, which stores a user’s passcode key on ...

The algorithm is so strong that no computer imaginable for the foreseeable future-even a quantum computer-would be able to crack a truly random 256-bit AES key.

To preface this I'm not a developer, mobile or immobile, though I unfortunately know a little about encryption, enough to get saddled with advising actual mobile devs on what to do. :/ Their app ...
