Status update: Thinking about privacy, emojis
Rebecca Regnier
Did you update your iOS? That’s your iPhone Operating System. Updating your iPhone is like cleaning the gutters. It’s a chore. And it seems like something you don’t need to do because who even sees inside the gutters? But every homeowner knows you have to do it. Honestly, you know you’re adulting, as they say when gutter cleanliness is on your to-do list.
This brings me back to the iPhone update. The official name of the update is iOS 14.5. The biggest headline grabber is a change to your phone’s privacy. With this update, you’ll have more control over the apps that want to track you for advertising. A pop-up appears to alert you when apps use your data for ads.
