After making a lot of Squaeamish developers and at the same time gives users more choices about their privacy, Apple is set to bring other features to the iPhone that is bound to have some impact.
According to several online reports, Apple has launched a new feature called the application privacy report.
This feature is available in the iOS 15.2 beta version.
Application Privacy Report: What it means for usersaf reports by 9to5Mac reveals that the feature will be part of the application settings.
Application privacy reports, as suggested, will notify users how often the application accesses locations, photos, cameras, microphones, and their contacts over a seven-day period.
I.
So for example, you will know how many times the weather application accesses your location.
Or how many times have you gave Instagram access to your photo or camera.
It’s not all.
This feature will also track network activity, which means it also shows you which applications have contacted another domain and how recently they contacted them.
This feature will give users a better idea about how the application uses their data.
Earlier this year, Apple launched an application tracking transparency feature that created sufficient flutter.
Big names like Facebook and Snapchat acknowledge that this feature has taken victims on their income.
At the same time, people like Google have said that the impact is nominal.
With transparency tracking applications, users have the option not to use them and it might occur with the application privacy report too.
It is still unclear when the feature will really be launched to the user.
However, because this is the first beta version where the feature has landed, it might only be a problem a few weeks when the user will be able to access it.
