I dagarna släpper Apple den senaste versionen av sitt operativsystem för mobiler. Och det innehåller – faktiskt – en del små, men ändå rätt tydliga förändringar för att bättre skydda användarnas rätt till privatliv.
Apple is adding more ways to control your personal information. If an app needs your location for something, you can now grant access to your location just once. The app will have to ask for your permission the next time.
Similarly, iOS 13 can tell you when an app has been silently tracking your location in the background with a map of those data points.
Apple is shaming app developers directly by saying “This app has used 40 locations in the background in the past 2 days” and showing you a map. You can turn off location tracking directly in the popup. Facebook is already freaking out and wrote a blog post last week to tell you that it cares about your privacy.
Sedan är det naturligtvis en annan fråga hur mycket information Apple själva samlar (och delar) om sina användare.
