New Privacy Features Added to the new upcoming iOS 14


1. Privacy information on the App Store

A new section on each product page on the App Store helps you see a summary of the privacy practices of the app before you download it. Developers self-report their privacy practices, including data collected by the developer and used to track you across companies, in a simple, easy-to-read format.

2. App tracking controls and transparency

Developers are now required to get your consent before tracking you, so you can choose which apps have permission to track. And see which apps you have given permission to track in Settings so you can change your preferences.

3. Approximate location

A new setting lets you choose to share your approximate location, rather than your precise location, with an app.

4. Limited Photos library access

You can choose to share only selected items with a developer who asks for access to your photos, or you can give access to your entire library.

5. Recording indicator

iOS displays an indicator whenever an app is using the mic or camera, both in the app and in Control Center.

6. Upgrade to Sign in with Apple

Developers can offer the option to upgrade existing app accounts to Sign in with Apple so users can enjoy improved privacy, security, and ease of use without setting up a new account.
