Apple's new app privacy report feature gives more power in hands of users
No Apple event is ever complete without a major part dedicated towards privacy features. The Apple Worldwide Developer Conference or WWDC 2021 was no different with the Cupertino-based tech giant announcing the new app privacy report feature which puts more power in the hands of users and allows them to decide how much access third-party apps gets. The announcements come at an interesting time when Apple has already run into trouble with app developers over the nutrition labels that show users the kind of permissions apps ask for, before they are installed. The new privacy report, unveiled during WWDC 2021, goes further deep and allows users to check when exactly an app used the permissions it has been given - and what third-party websites it contacted or sent data to. “The new feature helps users prevent senders from knowing when they open an email, and masks their IP address, so it can’t be linked to other online activity or used to determine their location,” Apple announced.
