Apple unveiled its next “Privacy report” for iPhone, which gives users an overview of what information their apps have access to and what they share.
This functionality is found in Settings and has now been released in the iOS 15.2 beta version.
Thanks to this report you can see what permissions the apps have and how often they’ve used them in the last seven days.
For example, the report shows the number of times an app accessed your location, photos, camera, microphone, contacts, and more.
To find out who your data can be shared with, you can also see which other web domains the app is contacting. The goal is that users know exactly who sees the data collected by their favorite apps.
There is no guarantee that the Privacy Report will reach the final version of 15.2, which is expected to reach users in the coming weeks.
Apple has made the privacy of iPhone users one of its top selling points in recent years. Last year, it added “privacy labels” to app lists in its App Store.
And earlier this year, Apple released a notice that allows users to easily opt-in to some forms of tracking apps.
