Well, we\u2019re whittling it all down for you. From different apps to new controls, there are so many features keeping you safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safari<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safari is the internet browser that is automatically downloaded onto all iOS devices. This browser is actually protected with Intelligent Tracking Prevention. This is software which stops cookies from sharing your activity with advertisers. When you\u2019re on social media, you may notice adverts for items you\u2019ve been looking at recently. This is because advertisers track your activity using cookies. The software on Safari stops personalised ads by not allowing advertisers to track your cookies. This is defaulted so you don\u2019t have to set it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another of the iPhone privacy features on Safari is the Privacy Report. You can easily access this through Safari to view the report at any point. This report shows you which sites have been blocked from tracking your activity. This way, you can avoid multiple sites on other browsers to stay safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One more feature on Safari is password monitoring. A lot of people choose to remember their logins when signing up for websites. This can make logging back in so much easier. Password monitoring on Safari checks to see if your saved passwords have been compromised. If they have been, Safari will notify you to change them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another app that is automatically downloaded onto an iPhone is Apple Maps. This allows users to get directions to locations all over the world. A great feature of this app is that it\u2019s personalised. There are a number of features, such as parked car, that help you keep your information safe but useful. Parked car uses data on the device to help you find your way back to your car. This data is not at all linked to your person. This minimises the data sent to Apple, keeping as much of your data private as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that is very popular on Apple Maps is location fuzzing. This converts exact locations that you\u2019ve been to using Apple Maps to less specific locations within 24 hours. This obscures locations on Apple servers and makes sure that you\u2019re doing everything in private.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your photos safe is one of the most important things. That\u2019s why Apple has put hundreds of iPhone privacy features on the default photos apps. One of the biggest features is the sharing controls. Whether you\u2019re sharing your photos through iMessage, emails or even AirDrop, you can make sure you\u2019re sharing the information you want to share. You can edit the history of the photo to make sure you\u2019re not sharing too much information. For example, you can remove or include locations and even remove depth data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also control the information different apps have on your photos. When you first open an app, you\u2019ll be able to choose which images an app has access to. You do have the option to change these permissions every time you reopen the app. These permissions will allow you to give complete access, specific access or no access to your photo apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think these iPhone privacy features are something you need in your life? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/manufacturer\/apple-contract-phone-deals\">View our iPhone deals<\/a> to get your hands on the latest iPhone.
