Apple Announces New Privacy Features at WWDC 2020
2020-06-23 08:53

Apple kicked off its 2020 Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday - a virtual event due to the current coronavirus pandemic - and announced several new privacy features coming to its products.

The new iOS 14 will allow iPhone users to only share an approximate location with the apps they are using rather than giving them access to precise location data.

Another improvement made to app-related privacy is that applications will be required to display a summary of their privacy practices on their page in the App Store so that users can see it before downloading.

Safari, which uses Intelligent Tracking Prevention to prevent user tracking across the web, will also include a Privacy Report feature that will show users how they are protected on the websites they visit.

Users will receive a weekly report, but they can also see a report at any time by clicking on the Privacy Report button that will be displayed in the browser's toolbar.
