When iOS 13 was presented at WWDC 2019, some privacy functions were announced. Now there is an important such function to be seen on the first screenshots. iOS 13 shows where apps have tracked users.

Who 9to5Mac The first screenshots show that privacy has been implemented pretty well in iOS 13. The new iPhone operating system shows the location tracking of the apps. Now you can not only determine when to track, but also exactly where the app has accessed the location.

Pop-up notifications with location query

Until now, iOS only offered the option of deciding when an app was allowed to access the location. With iOS 13, this function is expanded and a map now also shows where the app has used the location. In addition, you want to display such a popup regularly in order to be able to control the tracking more precisely. Developers can also provide an explanation for their apps as to why the location was used.

This function will be available to all users from the next version of iOS and iPadOS in autumn. Then the user will be regularly informed of the granted location authorization and a map will be displayed. For some apps, you can also give permanent approval so that you are not asked again and again. Another new feature is that you can share your location for an app once.
