The privacy in IOS 14 has been one of the beneficiaries with the arrival of the new operating system from Apple. We are still digesting all the news that the new iOS will bring us but few have emphasized one of the great improvements that we are going to be able to enjoy. More control over the data we share with apps.
Privacy is a fundamental human right and is at the core of evAppleerything Apple does. That’s why with iOS 14, they give us more control over the data we share and more transparency about how it’s used.
For us, apart from the visual improvements, new functions, etc… that we have all liked very much, the privacy improvements have been one of the novelties that most caught our attention. They have been greatly improved and now we will have much more information about it. We will tell you everything below.
More privacy control in iOS 14:
Starting this fall, when the iOS version is available to all iPhone users, we will see improved information about our privacy.
If you have often thought about what an app will do with the information you share in it, that an app watches you, that activates the microphone when you do not use it, that activates the camera without permission… we will know all that now. These are the great improvements that come in privacy:
Privacy information on the App Store:
Now we can obtain information in the App Store, to help us understand the privacy practices of each application before downloading and installing them on our devices.
Recording indicator:
An orange indicator appears at the top of the screen each time an app activates and uses the microphone or camera. And in the Control Center, we can see which applications have recently used them.
Update to sign in with Apple:
Now we can easily switch to Sign in with Apple when you sign in to the apps. We will keep the account that we already use, but we will have one less password. It will be much easier to log in.
Approximate location. Great privacy improvement in iOS 14:
In iOS 14 we can share our approximate location instead of its exact location. This is perfect for apps like local news or weather. Another of the big news and improvements in terms of privacy.
Without further ado, we hope you found today’s article interesting and that you share it on your favorite social networks and messaging apps.
