What's the point: Safari now lets you see which trackers sites use to track your online activities.
Why it matters: To ensure digital privacy, transparency is essential — the ability to see how and which site or company is tracking data.
How to use: In the Safari address bar, click the “Aa” button. Then, in the menu, go to the “Privacy Report” tab and all the site’s trackers will be displayed on the screen.
Password monitoring in Safari
What's the point: Safari will track the passwords you use and warn you if they're compromised.
Why it matters: Passwords are often the weakest link in digital sweden number data security. Many users still use the same two or three passwords for all their accounts and don’t even check to see if their password was compromised in a data breach. In iOS 14, Safari acts as a password keeper.
How to use: Safari alerts come automatically. You can also go to Settings and look under the Passwords section to see the Security Recommendations field, which will display any password breach alerts along with links to instructions on how to change them.
Privacy labels for apps
The bottom line: The App Store now displays privacy information for each app, telling you how it uses data.
Why it matters: Apps collect all sorts of data, some of which users don’t even know they’re doing. The new app labels show what data apps will collect and how they’re using it — all in a transparent, easy-to-read format. Now users can make more informed choices about the apps they download.
How to use: Tap on any app in the App Store to see its description. Go to the “App Privacy” section, where you’ll find the new labels. (Note: This feature may be coming later.)
Sign in with your Apple account
The bottom line: You can now use a more private and universal way to sign in to apps and websites, called Sign in with Apple, instead of using Facebook, Google, and email accounts.
Why it matters: Universal logins from Facebook and Google give both companies, as well as the apps and sites that use those login systems, a huge amount of data about a user and their activity. Sign in with Apple, introduced in iOS 13, hides personal information (even your email address, if you choose) from apps and sites, including Facebook and Google.
How to use: This feature may take some time to launch. Once it is available, the app will provide instructions on how to update.
