We recommend new ways to master your device’s operating system.
After more than a month after the official launch of iOS 15, iPhone users are beginning to get used to all the new features implemented in this version of the mobile operating system. But there are always some aspects of the software that not everyone knows about …
From iPadízate we are going to recommend you to activate a series of new features of iOS 15 that will help you to fully enjoy the user experience that this iteration offers us. Join us and discover all the new privacy and security options that the signature of the apple logo has included in iOS 15.
New iOS 15 privacy settings
1. Record application activity
Apple has introduced a new functionality that allows users to save a weekly summary of when applications access certain information such as audio from the microphone, camera images, photographs or location.
Additionally, this function also provides the option to check when a website within the applications contacts the domains. This novelty will give you much more control over what the applications you use do.
To activate this configuration of iOS 15 follow these steps:
1. Open Settings.
2. Enter the Privacy section.
3. Click on Record app activity.
Four. Enable the function.
Remember that this new function will only collect data from the last 7 days.
2. Hide the IP address in web browsing
Your privacy is just as important in the applications you use every day as it is in the websites you visit. And it is that today the web pages collect all kinds of data about us. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we do everything possible to keep our privacy safe online.
Apple has made Safari one of the main protagonists of this update to iOS 15 with many design improvements in the user interface, with new functions and with privacy settings like the one we recommend below.
There is a special feature in Safari that allows you to hide your IP so that websites cannot track your web browsing. If you don’t usually use VPN applications regularly, using this new feature will help you protect your IP address from any intruder who wants to track your data.
Follow these steps to hide your IP address in Safari:
1. Go into Settings.
2. Access the Safari section.
3. Scroll down to the Privacy and security panel.
Four. Enable the “Hide IP address” function.
Depending on your country, you may also have the option of hiding the IP address from web pages and / or trackers.
3. Protect privacy in Mail
Another of the privacy news that Apple has introduced in the iOS 15 software is the protection in Mail. With the new update of the operating system for iPhone you can easily shield privacy of your activity in your email manager.
Not only will you protect your information from possible trackers, but you will also be able to protect it from Apple itself. In addition, as they very well indicate from iDrop News, it is a very simple functionality to configure.
To activate the protection of your emails, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Enter the Mail section.
3. Find and access the “Privacy protection” section.
Four. Enable “Protect activity in Mail”.
3. Stop sharing data with Apple
Finally, the last setting that we recommend activating to protect your privacy is to stop sharing with Apple the analysis of your data on the use of your iPhone. After every major update, Apple requests your permission to share your activity with them in order to “improve their services”.
In the same way in which it happens with the privacy of Siri, it is also possible to stop sharing analysis of the use of your iPhone. By disabling this feature, you can prevent Apple from knowing what you are doing on your device.
Follow these steps to stop sharing your data with Apple:
1. Open Settings.
2. Enter Privacy.
3. Access the “Analysis and improvements” section.
Four. Turn off “Share analysis (iPhone)”.
These are all the functions that we recommend that you activate (and deactivate) on your iPhone to prevent third parties from tracking your data and intruding on your privacy. We hope it has been helpful!
