Manage the Data You Share With Apple
Every time Apple releases a major software update, the company asks if you want to share your analytics. Apple says it then uses this data to improve its products and services.
However, we don’t think Apple, a trillion-dollar company, needs your analytics to improve its data. Not only that, but automatically sharing this data might hurt your battery life and even performance in the long run. So, it’s best to let someone else share their data with Apple.
Apple always asks if you want to share your data with them, but you can make sure you’re not sharing anything by doing the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Analytics & Improvements.
- Turn off any options that you have enabled.
Granted, you can still share your data with Apple if you want. Review the settings and see which data you’re comfortable sharing and which you’d rather be private.
