Privacy in iOS 14
Privacy is a fundamental human right and is at the core of everything Apple does. That's why with iOS 14, they give us more control over the data we share and more transparency about how it's used.
For us, apart from the visual improvements, new functions, etc. that we all liked a lot, the privacy improvements have been one of the innovations that have caught our attention the most. They have been greatly improved and, now, we will have much more information about it. We tell you everything below.
More privacy control in iOS 14:
Starting this fall, when the iOS version is available to all iPhone users, we're going to see improved all of the information about our privacy.
If you have often thought about what an app will do with the information you share in it, that an app watches you, that it activates the microphone when you are not using it, that it activates the camera without permission, all of that now we are going to know. These are the great improvements that come in terms of privacy:
Privacy information on the App Store:
App Store Privacy Information
We will now be able to obtain information from the App Store, to help us understand the privacy practices of each application before we download and install it on our devices.
Recording indicator:

An orange indicator will appear at the top of the screen whenever an app activates and uses the microphone or camera. And in the Control Center, we can see which applications have used them recently.
