Those who live online can hardly keep their privacy safe. After all, data is always being disclosed, whether in a location to request a travel app, when downloading a game or even when reading a post. With the new settings for both Android and iOS, it is possible to use privacy protection tools, which are very useful to keep you always away from scams or embarrassing situations.
By making these settings, you will have control over warnings and options. An example is when a website or service wants to use personal information such as location or browser clicks.
