- Apple released a report about data privacy called "A Day in the Life of Your Data" on Thursday in commemoration of Data Privacy Day, which takes place on January 28th.
- The report reveals that the next beta update will include App Tracking Transparency, which requires apps to get your permission before they can track you.
- iOS 14.4 rolled out this week, which means the first iOS 14.5 beta should arrive soon.
Earlier this week, Apple seeded iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 for iPhone and iPad, bringing a number of interesting new features and important bug fixes to its mobile devices. In addition to giving the camera the ability to recognize smaller QR codes and letting users classify Bluetooth devices in the Settings app, iOS 14.4 also patched three security flaws that Apple says “may have been actively exploited.” If you own an iPhone and haven't installed iOS 14.4 yet, do so immediately, but the next update for Apple's mobile OS is shaping up to be just as essential.
If you weren't aware, January 28th is Data Privacy Day, and to mark the occasion, Apple shared a lengthy report titled "A Day in the Life of Your Data." The report shows you "how companies track user data across websites and apps" as well as "how privacy features across Apple’s products give users more transparency and control." It also reveals that the App Tracking Transparency feature will finally debut in the next iOS beta release.
