  • iOS 14.5 will change a privacy feature in Safari that currently sends your IP address to Google while checking to see if a website you're visiting is fraudulent.
  • In iOS 14.5, Apple will use a proxy with the "Fraudulent Website Warning" to ensure that your private information is not shared in the process.
  • Apple's first beta release for iOS 14.5 is now available for developers and public beta testers.

You should always download the latest software updates for your phones, tablets, computers, and consoles to protect them from hackers, but that's just one reason to keep your devices up to date.

As iPhone and iPad owners know, Apple frequently adds worthwhile new features in even the smaller updates, which will certainly be the case in iOS 14.5. The first beta for iOS 14.5 rolled out at the beginning of the month, and although the highlight of the update is the ability to unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch while wearing a face mask, iOS 14.5 also brings a new privacy feature to Apple's mobile devices that users will appreciate.
