1.) Not Every App Can Access Your Precise Geo location
Your iPhone already allows you to block specific apps from tracking your location, but now the latest iOS version will also allow you to share an approximate location with apps you are using instead of giving them access to your precise geolocation coordinates when granting any app location access
An Indicator to Spot if Microphone/Camera is Recording
iPhone users will now see a yellow dot indicator in the status bar whenever their microphone or camera is recording.
In the Control Center, you can see which apps have used the mic or camera recently.
Upgrade App Account to “Sign-in with Apple”
Developers can now offer the option to upgrade existing app accounts to Sign in with Apple so users can enjoy improved Privacy, security, and ease of use without setting up a new account.
Safari Browser Added Password Monitoring and Privacy Report
Apple added two new security features to its Safari web browser for iOS and macOS, one of which aims to help users learn if they are using a compromised password for any online account.
“Safari automatically keeps an eye out for any saved passwords that may have been involved in a data breach. Using advanced cryptographic techniques, Safari periodically checks a derivation of your passwords against an updated list of compromised credentials. If a breach is discovered, Safari helps you upgrade your existing passwords. All this is done without revealing your password information to anyone — including Apple,” the company said.
Privacy Information on the App Store
Apple now also requires developers to display a summary of the privacy practices of their apps on their pages in the App Store, which will help users review it before downloading.
They are required to self-report their app practices, like data collected by the developer, and used to track you across companies in a simple, easy-to-read format.
