The Apple had a rough August, with safety issues on iPhones and revelations that the recordings Siri were being heard by humans contractors. This is just as the company was trying to differentiate itself from Facebook and Google as the technology company that cares about user privacy. Apple is already responding to repair the damage: Last week it confirmed that Siri's recordings would only be by voluntary user input.
And September could be a good month for Apple . Along with the new iPhones , iOS 13 is likely to arrive in the days following September 10, with several massive security enhancements. So far it is possible to know some information, and among them the 5 main security improvements that are coming.
IOS 13 doesn't allow apps to run VoIP in the background
Security-enhanced iOS 13 will not allow VoIP applications (technology that allows you to make and receive calls using an internet connection) to run while programs are not in active use. Apps like WhatsApp and Facebook say they need to run in the background, even when not in use, so they can connect calls quickly. However, they also collect information about what you are doing on your device.
IOS 13 will send app alerts that track your location
Location tracking is another security and privacy violation, and iOS 13 will tell you which apps are doing it in the background. Apple is doing this proactively: A reminder will appear about which apps are tracking you and let you know how many times this has happened. It even shows you a map of where you were tracked, along with the option to allow or limit.
IOS 13 gives you access to your location only once
In the theme of location tracking, Apple iOS 13 will also include a feature that allows an app to access your location only once . It prevents apps from tracking you in the background without your knowledge.
IOS 13 lets you prevent or limit Bluetooth and WiFi tracking
In addition to adding features that prevent apps from tracking you via GPS, Apple also prevents the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tracking used by some app manufacturers on iOS 13. Some, like smart watch ones, will need Bluetooth access to be able to. connect with the phone, and now they will need to ask your consent.
“Sign in with Apple”
“Sign in with Apple” is a security enhancement that enables any application that requires sign in to offer this new option. It lets you use Apple-generated private email to protect your privacy.
