Soham Halder
These essential privacy settings help lock down your data, stop silent tracking, and keep your digital life truly yours.
App Tracking Transparency: Stop apps from following you across the internet. Turn this on to block apps from tracking your activity for ads without your clear permission.
Location Services Control: Not every app needs to know where you are Set location access to “While Using” or “Never” to prevent constant background tracking
Precise Location Toggle: Share your city, not your exact spot Disable Precise Location so apps can’t pinpoint your exact movements.
Privacy Report: See which apps are spying the most. The App Privacy Report reveals how often apps access your camera, mic, and data.
Microphone & Camera Access: Catch sneaky mic and camera usage. Review and revoke access so apps can’t listen or watch without your consent.
Safari Privacy Protection: Browse without leaving digital footprints. Enable fraud warnings and cross-site tracking prevention for safer web surfing.
Face ID & Passcode Protection: Your phone deserves a strong lock. Use Face ID with a secure passcode to stop unauthorized access instantly.
iCloud Data Encryption: Extra protection for your cloud backups. Advanced data protection keeps your photos, notes, and messages encrypted end-to-end.
