Your iPhone Installed An App WITHOUT Your Permission - Delete It Now!

Apple installs the Journal app on your iPhone, often puts it back with each iOS update, and it can reach a lot of your personal data. Journaling Suggestions can draw on your workouts, music and podcasts, contacts, photos, significant locations and state of mind. Turning those off, clearing its history, cutting its location and Health access and resetting its identifier keeps that data private, and you can delete the Journal app if you never use it. The App Privacy Report then shows which other apps reach your data and sensors and which ones contact outside domains the most, so you can turn off camera or microphone access or swap an app for its website. Shown on an iPhone, and the same settings are on any recent iPhone. 0:00 Journal App Privacy Fix 0:18 Cut Journal's Data Access 1:39 Block Location And Health 2:35 Wipe Data Sent To Apple 3:16 Remove Journal For Good 3:35 Find Apps Using Your Data 5:06 Turn Off An App's Access 5:33 Spot Apps That Track You I hope this video helped you.
