14 DAY TRIAL // Apple rolled out iOS 15.1 a few days ago, and now the company is already working on the very next big update for its users.
As a result, the Cupertino-based tech giant started the public testing of iOS 15.2, so a few hours ago, the first beta build was officially pushed to developers.
Needless to say, iOS 15.2 is going to be a massive release, and in addition to the army of bug fixes that are typically included in such updates, Apple is also working on new features.
Welcome, App Privacy Report!
According to Apple itself, the new iOS 15.2 update comes with App Privacy Report, a feature that will be included in the Settings menu and allow users to see what data was accessed by the applications installed on your iPhone.
In a tech support document, Apple explains the purpose of the new feature on iPhones.
“iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 introduced the Record App Activity feature, allowing people to save a summary of sensor, data, and internet access from apps on their device. This activity can be exported in JSON format by tapping Save App Activity,” it says.
“In iOS 15.2 beta and iPadOS 15.2 beta, this activity will be presented in a new UI called App Privacy Report. This is a great opportunity to review your app's sensor, data, and internet usage. To view your app's activity in the report, install the beta releases, then go to Settings > Privacy > App Privacy Report > Turn On App Privacy Report. Activity will show once you use your app.”
iOS 15.2 beta also introduces further polishing for the Auto Call feature in Emergency SOS, as users can now activate it by holding the side button and a volume button or just by pressing the side button several times in a row. The behavior can be configured from the settings screen.
