When it comes to securing the data of its users, Apple takes the situation very seriously. While more and more reports have come out about companies not cooperating with domestic spying programs, Apple has taken concrete steps to ensure that their consumers' information remains private and protected. At the annual technology developers conference this week, the company unveiled the latest version of its smartphone operating system, the iOS 8. Many experts noted how it strengthens the security of people who use their iPhones in public places and do not want their personal information taken.
Here are the updates to the OS security system:
- Location trackers: In the past, when a user connects to the WiFi of a restaurant or store, the physical location of the phone would automatically be stored, leaving the individual vulnerable. Now, these trackers will not be able to duplicate any information that is running on the iOS 8, as your wireless address will be randomized and perfectly disguised from outside forces.
- Spammers: Apple is going to great lengths in order to prevent spammers and other advertisers from infiltrating the popular App store. Developers are now held to a much stricter standard and review process before they gain approval to be able to sell their apps in the virtual marketplace. Users who excessively ask people to share their apps on social media sites have already begun receiving rejection notices.
