OS update brings new privacy features
New version lets users control in more detail which data each app can access, including camera, microphone and location.
The latest operating system update arrives with a redesigned privacy dashboard, giving users more granular control over which data each app can access.
Among the new features is a visual indicator whenever the camera or microphone is in use, plus weekly reports showing which apps collected the most location data.
The change follows an industry trend of giving users more transparency amid pressure from regulators in different countries.
The update is already available for most compatible devices and should reach the rest in the coming weeks.
