SECURITY UPDATE WITH IOS 16

Apple products and features include innovative privacy technologies that limit outside access to your data. In this way, the company explains that -for example- trackers do not keep track of users in Safari, the Health app keeps their records safe and Siri adapts to their needs without knowing who they are.

Apple believes that privacy is an integral aspect of its products and services, and the latest update to iOS 16 adds new tools to help users control their data more effectively, including an ‘App Safety Report’ the ‘smartphone’ identifies the permissions that have been granted to the different applications and gives the user the option to revert them, among other new functions.
