Apple has provided a preview of the iOS mobile operating system, which has a pretty interesting change on the Privacy icon.
The preview of iOS 11.3 has been provided by Apple developers, with a long list of new features. But one thing that Apple did not mention in the list is the new Privacy icon discovered by developer Dean Murphy in iOS 11.3 beta.
iOS 11.3 beta is currently being offered to developer members.
According to information found in the beta, the Privacy icon will appear on your device when an application or feature from Apple creates a request for the use of your personal information, including your Apple ID password. Currently, it is not clear exactly where this icon will appear, but it will probably show up in the top menu bar.
The Privacy icon is considered necessary to make it more difficult for fraudsters to steal your Apple ID password and personal data.
It was reported last year that another developer, Felix Krause, demonstrated that an application or web page that could contain pop-ups like Apple requires the provision of an Apple ID, which confuses the user. Genuine pop-ups. The new Privacy icon is displayed so it is believed that this is officially a pop-up from Apple.
The Privacy icon will help protect your Apple ID account better.
In addition the new Privacy icon will be available on MacOS High Sierra and the tvOS, so it will protect a variety of Apple devices. iOS 11.3 is currently only available as a beta to developers. Users will typically start installing it on their device in the coming months.
