Protecting your privacy

Apple has made privacy a high priority in recent years and this update is no exception. There are a number of privacy measures in iOS 15 besides those in iCloud+. Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address so senders can’t see your location or link it to other activity. And senders are preventing from seeing whether you have opened a message.

App Privacy reports enable you to see how apps are using the permissions you have granted them and also which third-party domains they contact. You can also see how recently they’ve contacted those domains.

And on-device audio processing in Siri (if you have an iPhone with an A12 Bionic chip or later) means that the audio never leaves your device.

You’ll be able to see just what data apps are looking to collect from you.
