During this year’s WWDC, Apple announced its latest privacy and security innovations. This reaffirms the company’s commitment to respecting individual privacy as one of mankind’s foundational rights. As part of these updates, Safari Private Browsing has been significantly improved. In addition, Communication Safety, Lockdown Mode, and App Privacy are all improved significantly.
During WWDC 2023, Apple announced updated versions of the iOS and iPad operating systems, as well as Mac OS X Sonoma. In addition, Apple introduced enhanced privacy and security features for iOS and macOS.
Safari’s Private Browsing feature prevents unwanted tracking
The newly added Private Browsing mode is a welcome addition to Apple’s Safari browser which is currently in beta. When a user is not using the device, this feature locks the screen. This is so the user can leave tabs open even if the device happens to be unattended.
In addition to providing advanced tracking protection, Safari’s Private Browsing also protects users from fingerprinting and tracking. Apple says that by limiting website access to these latest technologies, the company prevents tracking and identifying users.
