Whether on its official website or at various press conferences every year, Apple has been promoting the protection of user privacy in great detail. Recently, Apple once again declared that Apple phones attach great importance to user privacy.

- App behavior tracker: let peepers have nowhere to hide
The newly designed privacy dashboard now displays the background activities of each app in real time. It's like installing a "perspective eye" on your phone. Those malicious apps that secretly call the camera and steal the address book will be exposed to the sun for the first time. The system will record the data access behavior of the application with minute-level accuracy, and use red, yellow and green warnings to indicate the risk level.
- Smart privacy sandbox: your data has a "bulletproof vest"
The revolutionary virtual identity technology can generate a unique digital mask for each application. When social software asks for your location, the system will automatically provide fake coordinates blurred to a range of 500 meters; need to fill in your birthday to register an account? iOS 18 will help you generate a "shadow identity". Real data is like being locked in a Swiss bank safe, and even Apple itself cannot spy on it.
- Biometric firewall: pupil is password
The most shocking is the upgraded version of Face ID, which now supports dynamic iris encryption. When abnormal login behavior is detected, the system will ask you to rotate your eyeballs to complete three-dimensional biometric verification. Even if hackers get your phone and password, they can't move without this pair of "original eyes". The payment page will also automatically activate the privacy force field. As soon as the eyes of others touch the screen, the key information will be immediately mosaiced.
The specific privacy policy focuses on the following four aspects
Automatic strong password
In order to enhance the security of our account, when registering or changing passwords on web pages and applications (apps) such as games, social networking, shopping, etc., Apple phones can create automatic strong passwords for us. Strong passwords consist of 20 characters. This strong password has trillions of combinations, which are random and unified, and users can use it with confidence. If we forget the strong password we created, we can log in with face ID!
"Hidden" album
In the "Photos" app of Apple phones, there is a "Hidden" album, which can protect our private photos. If you want to access this album, you need to unlock it with Face ID before you can view it. At the same time, we don't need to worry about iCloud photos being displayed, because as long as it is the same Apple ID, the cloud will be hidden synchronously.
Safari Incognito Browsing
As the browser that comes with Apple phones, when we turn on the Incognito Browsing function, the previously visited pages, search history, and online input information will not be recorded by the Safari browser, and the window will automatically lock when idle, and Face ID needs to be unlocked.
Face ID in the quarantine area
Face ID is an important unlocking method for Apple phones. In fact, the data of Face ID is stored in an independent security area, and this data has been encrypted and cannot be accessed by the operating system.
