Apple has always proudly talks about focusing on privacy of users which has even irked giants like Meta who have lost the link to make money from people by pushing them personalised ads. However, Apple is equally invested in keeping its users protected from other possible events, especially that is hard to track or control because of the external factors involved.
As a part of the Safer Internet Day this week, Apple feels the need to highlight some of its efforts that keep iPhone users safe from any major threat or possible intrusion. While the company has a plethora of features that keep users safe, we have decided to highlight the top 5 tools that Apple has introduced in recent times for protecting its users.
App Limits – As the name suggests, you can set a limit to how much time you want to spend on a particular app. The limits are ideally set on social media apps and even YouTube to some extent. Setting a limit allows you to reduce the screen time and be alerted about your usage.
Communication Safety – This feature is vital to protect kids by alerting them about sensitive content they receive via messages or apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
Restrictions – Parents have the power to restrict their kid’s usage of the device and also control the apps they can download, or in-app purchases they can make. Having control over their content allows kids to use the iPhones responsibly.
iCloud Private Relay – Apple is making your web activity anonymous and secure with this feature as long as you do the browsing on the Safari web browser. Using websites in this mode keeps your private details secure.
Screen Distance – And finally, Apple has taken on itself to remind you when you’re at a safe distance from viewing the screen which is critical if you have a really long screen time schedule. The company uses the TrueDepth camera to detect when an iPhone user is closer than 12 inches for a longer period.
