🚨PSA: iOS 17 turns these sensitive location options back on. If you have disabled significant locations as well as adding your location information to your iPhone analytics before upgrading to iOS 17, #iOS17 will turn the options on as shown in the screenshot.
While significant locations remain local on your #iPhone, they can be abused as they record detailed information about the locations you visit frequently. iPhone analytics, on the other hand, are shared with #Apple. Having your location information included in these analytics reports might have privacy implications, even if the reports don't identify you.
Security experts have always advised to turn these two options off.
Go the Settings app: Privacy & Security ➡️ Location Services ➡️ Scroll down to System Services ➡️ Find these two options and turn them off:
👉 Significant Locations
👉 iPhone Analytics
A re-post or boost would be appreciated to spread the word🙏
You're welcome!
