How can you ensure privacy on Apple devices? Here are 10 ways

Data is equivalent to gold when it comes to the internet age, and our devices are a goldmine. And while the ways to access data can vary, it is our responsibility to protect it. Apple, with arguably the strongest ecosystem of devices cater to a large user base - especially now in India, with the brand entering the top 5 best-selling smartphone list this quarter. So, it’s important to know how you can secure your Apple devices. Here are some tips & tricks for your reference.

Lock or Hide Apps

Lock or hide apps to keep their contents private when sharing your screen or handing over your device.

Share Specific Contacts with Apps

iOS 18 lets users choose which contacts to share with apps, instead of giving access to all contacts.

Safari Private Browsing Locks

Private Browsing now locks by default, so users can keep tabs open and return later with FaceID, TouchID, or a passcode.

Link Tracking Protection

Safari and Messages now remove tracking information from URLs, preventing unnecessary trackers when browsing or sharing links.

Safety Check

Quickly stop sharing personal info or review what’s being shared with people and apps, all from one place.

App Privacy Report

See how apps use your data, like location or camera, with the App Privacy Report.

Hide My Email

Create random email addresses with iCloud+ to keep your email private when signing up for apps, newsletters, or making purchases.

Approximate Location

Share your approximate location (about 10 square miles) with apps instead of your exact location for better privacy.

Recording Indicators

An orange or green dot appears when an app uses your device’s microphone or camera, so you're always informed.

iCloud Private Relay

iCloud+ protects your privacy by hiding both your identity and browsing activity while using Safari.
