Understanding App privacy report
iOS 15: Understanding Apps behaviour
WWDC 21 unveiled App privacy report that will enable users to understand what’s going on with their everyday applications under the hood.
The report will reveal instances when an app accesses user data and sensors (like photos, location, contacts etc.) and also list out all the domains that your app contacts.
Where to find this option
The report will be in Privacy settings and can be enabled to better understand underlying behaviour of all the installed apps.
Important to note that this report will not record ephemeral WebKit sessions by web browsers, eg: Privacy browsing or incognito modes.
For Developers: How to be address any concerns before iOS 15 public release?
To record how your app is behaving, you can make use of the Record App Activity functionality from the settings in iOS 15. To enable this, grab iOS 15 beta and turn this option on in settings to understand what will users see once iOS 15 is publicly released. To generate a JSON report, click on Save App Activity and iOS will generate a report. You can review this report to confirm if your App is behaving as expected.
