How to Use Your Phone’s Privacy Protection Tools?

System Settings

Open the Settings app and choose Privacy to control which apps use the phone's hardware and software. Android 12 has a privacy panel that shows what apps have been doing. Be aware that deleting online tracks and location information could affect free apps.

Location

On iOS 15, you can turn on or off location services and decide when and which third-party apps can use your information. On Android 12, you can turn on or off location services and change the way your phone remembers your current location.

Apps and Ads

Apple's App Tracking Transparency tool lets you know when an app wants to track your online activity, and Android 12's Settings menu allows you to delete your Advertising ID. Google's privacy policy prevents apps from losing access to your phone if you haven't used them in a while.

Web

Apple's App Tracking Transparency tool lets you know when an app wants to track what you do online, and Apple's Safari program has tools to stop tracking. Google's Chrome browser has tools to tell sites not to track you, and safety-focused apps like Brave and DuckDuckGo have been released.

Mail

Apple's iOS 15 can be used to stop text bots and Gmail from taking pictures and giving notifications, and email lists that send unwanted messages can be stopped or unsubscribed from.
