Apple has released its latest update<\/a><\/strong> for iPhones and iPads, iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2, with several changes, including the App Privacy Report feature.<\/p>\n

The App Privacy Report feature allows users to view how often apps access their permission-requiring information such as location, camera, photos, contacts, and microphone over the last seven days.<\/p>\n

Users can also see which apps communicate with other domains and when last these apps were in contact with these domains.<\/p>\n

Users can access the App Privacy Report feature by going to Settings<\/em>,\u00a0Privacy<\/em>, and selecting\u00a0App Privacy Report<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Apple included several other changes with the iOS 15.2 update, including Siri-only Apple Music support, Legacy Contacts, and improvements to the Emergency SOS feature.<\/p>\n

The Cupertino-based company launched its Siri-only Apple Music plan in October 2021, and Apple has now added support for the feature to the latest version of iOS.<\/p>\n

The new plan offers access to all songs, playlists, and stations in Apple Music through Siri at the cost of $4.99 (R80) per month.<\/p>\n

The Siri-only plan is not yet available in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Emergency SOS feature allows users to call emergency responders through a combination of button presses.<\/p>\n

Users can rapidly press the side button multiple times to initiate contact or hold down the side button and volume buttons together if preferred.<\/p>\n

Previously, users could only use the feature by rapidly pressing the side button.<\/p>\n

The Legacy Contacts feature allows iPhone users to designate a trusted contact to access their data and Apple ID in the event of death.<\/p>\n

Your designated legacy contact will be able to access photos, messages, notes, files, contacts, calendar events, apps, device backups, and so on.<\/p>\n

To set a Legacy Contact, go to Settings<\/em>, Password & Security<\/em>, and select Legacy Contact<\/em>. You will then be able to choose a contact.<\/p>\n

Legacy Contacts can be iOS or Android users, and you can print out your unique access key or share it through Messages.<\/p>\n
