Apple iPhone users, here's how to check which app is tracking your personal data

Apple has rolled out Privacy Labels with the latest iOS 14.3 update to help iPhone users understand how their personal data is being used by the apps they download. After December 8 2020, developers of all iOS apps will have to adhere to new privacy rules if they wish to push an update for their app. In other words, all apps will ultimately need to clearly make the users understand what data is being collected and how it is linked to the user to create a digital identity.

This feature is only available to iPhone users, thanks to Apple and we can only expect Google to roll out a similar privacy feature. Here’s how to check which iOS app is tracking your personal data.

1.

Update your iPhone to the latest iOS 14.3 version

The new Apple Privacy Labels is available with the iOS 14.3 update. So, you will have to go to Settings> General>Software Update to update your iPhone.

2.

After updating to iOS 14.3, open App Store

Once your iPhone is running iOS 14.3, open the App Store and search for any app that you want to download or have already downloaded.

3.

Tap on the app to expand the page and scroll down to App Privacy section

Search for any app that you want to check, expand the app description page and scroll down to the App Privacy section. Then tap on ‘See Details’ to get the detailed list of personal information that the app collects.
