Privacy is the basic right of everyone, and it has always been a core value of Apple. Apple’s official website recently launched a new webpage on privacy protection , mainly introducing Apple’s initiatives to protect user privacy.
In the overview page , Apple lists how seven popular apps protect user privacy: – Safari browser to help you get rid of trackers. Smart anti-tracking helps prevent advertisers from tracking you across sites. – The Map App lets you locate your records and cannot be recorded by others. The map app won’t associate your data with your Apple ID, and Apple won’t save the history of your location. – Photo App protects your images from unintentional disclosure. With machine learning technology, the photo app organizes the content directly on your device so you don’t have to share it with Apple or anyone else. – Information App, everything you send is only visible to the receiving talent. When you send an iMessage message to a recipient, Apple cannot read the content. – Siri will know your needs but don’t know who you are. Your Apple ID is not associated with Siri, and your request will be associated with a random identifier, not you. – Wallet and Apple Pay, buy everything to help you keep secret. Your credit and debit card numbers are hidden and Apple will not retain information that can be traced back to you. – Health App always keeps your records. What information the health app can cover and who to share it with, is up to you. On the function page
