When the official version of iOS 15 was released, it was found that a new function “iCloud Private Relay” that enhances privacy protection when browsing the Web will be provided as a beta.
Provided as a beta version when iOS 15 is released
In the release notes for iOS 15 Beta 7 and Public Beta 7, Apple launched on August 25, local time, iCloud Private Relay is public to collect user feedback and improve website compatibility. It is explained that it will be provided as a beta.
Beta 7 adds the word “beta” next to the “iCloud Private Relay” toggle button, which wasn’t up to beta 6.
At the time of the official release of iOS 15 which is expected to be in September, “iCloud Private Relay” will be available, but it will only be provided as a beta.
Other features that are not available when the official version of iOS 15 is released are iCloud +, which allows you to use the original email domain, SharePlay, which allows you to share content with FaceTime parties, and Universal Control, which allows you to seamlessly operate Mac and iPad. And so on.
ICloud Private Relay enhances the privacy of web browsing
iCloud Private Relay is a feature that protects your privacy by preventing users from being tracked based on their IP address, location information, browsing history, etc. while browsing the web in Safari.
Apple describes the feature as follows:
iCloud Private Relay
iCloud Private Relay connects to almost any network, allowing you to see Safari with greater privacy. It reliably encrypts traffic originating from your device so that no one can intercept or read it.
And all your requests are sent using two different internet relays. This means that no one, including Apple, can create a detailed profile from your IP address, location, or browsing history.
