In recent years, the main topic when it comes to technology and digital devices is that of digital security, especially behind the increase in sensitive activity that we do on a daily basis. It is increasingly important protect cell phones from cyber attacks, but also from system settings.

In fact, all users try to protect themselves in the best possible way, also looking for those devices that allow them to increase their privacy compared to others. Not all owners of iPhones they know that in the “privacy” section of the Settings there is an item that could be activated without wanting it.

iPhone, attention to privacy: this function may be active

There’s a little “secret” inside iPhones that many users don’t know and don’t know they have. A feature that many people may have turned on unintentionally, even if they don’t agree to it. To find out, that’s enough go to “Settings” and scroll down to the “Privacy and Security”.

Once inside the section, scroll to the bottom and click on the item “Sensor data and Search usage” to see if it is active. Once inside the section it is possible to realize if the option is checked or not i.e. whether it is active or not.

If the tick is green (ie active) it means that the iPhone sends data to some research study to analyze. Users who agree with this option can keep the setting checked and leave it as it is.

In the event that users do not want to send data for research, however, they must bear in mind that they must scroll down and click on the item “Delete all data currently collected” and turn off the option. It is a feature present within all iPhones and it is good to know.

We also remind you that Apple offers its users an innumerable number of functions. Among these is also the iPhone emergency button essential if you need to ask for help.
