App Privacy Report was one of the most powerful privacy features revealed by Apple when it announced the iOS 15 update in June during the company's WWDC 2021 event.
The feature allows users to keep an eye on apps accessing their data on their iPhone, such as their camera, microphone, contacts or their location.
Here's how you can quickly enable and use your App Privacy Report on iOS 15.2:
Tap on the Settings icon and go to Privacy.
Scroll down and tap App Privacy Report
To enable the feature, tap on Turn On App Privacy Report.
Check back after a few minutes to see the list of apps included in the report.
The App Privacy Report feature on iOS 15 gives users an easy way to check permission usage, network activity, website network activity, and also the most frequently contacted domains on the smartphone.
After turning this information on, here's how you can understand the information:
Tap on the Settings icon and go to Privacy.
Scroll down and tap App Privacy Report.
Now tap on any app under Data and Sensor Access and check the timeline of various permissions accessed.
Under App Network Activity tap an app to see how many (and which) domains an app accessed.
Tap on some of the domains under Most Contacted Domains to see which apps accessed that domain.
