Apple wants to teach you how to protect your privacy on your iPhone… and it’s free

Ahead of European Data Protection Day, Apple is announcing a new session on Apple today. Focusing on protecting your personal data, it aims to educate its smartphone users to make better use of the tools at their disposal.

As European Data Privacy Day officially takes place next Saturday, January 28, Apple has announced the launch of a new Today at Apple session, a series of courses and training sessions available for free at Apple Stores worldwide today.

Title Manage privacy on your iPhoneThis short tutorial, which can be reserved for one person or a group (up to four people), aims to educate iPhone users about the options their smartphone offers in terms of protecting their privacy.

Let it be “Privacy Protection in Mail”, creating or managing passwords, setting location sharing preferences with apps and services, or transparency of monitoring by Apps, Apple employees will lead these workshops and implement these educational efforts. They will demonstrate and explain the functions and their use. Participants will certainly be able to come with their own devices – even strongly encouraged – and even as a family if they wish – can activate certain functions and learn to master them.

So, for example, they will be able to learn how to create secure passwords for their various online accounts or follow recommendations on how to replace those that are compromised or lack sufficient security during a hack.

During these thirty-minute educational sessions, registrants will also be able to discover the latest developments in the security and protection of their data. This is the case Security control. This new feature allows you to reset “Access to all people and all applications”. It is convenient, for example, if you have access to a paid account with a friend who no longer exists. You can also consider sharing photos, calendars, or geolocation, and of course decide not to share them anymore. Obviously, the most comfortable participants will be able to ask questions and explore the topic in more detail with the trainer or later go to specific pages on the Apple website.

If all these elements seem distant or incomprehensible to you, two solutions.

• Watch the video above with Ted Lasso star Nick Muhammad to get an idea of ​​what it’s all about, with an almost always hilarious scene.
• Or register at your nearest Apple Store so that an employee of the Californian giant can educate you.

Yes, we should say that we would like to make short videos based on a feature or set of features available to those who don’t have an Apple Store nearby. It will surely be on Apple or 01net, who knows?

In any case, from January 28 next year, it will be possible to participate or at least register for a session in all Apple Stores in France, Navarre and the world. They are free and cannot introduce you to Nick Muhammad, alias Big Natethey can let you get more out of Apple’s tools at your disposal.

A good start…while waiting for the end of the story tracking Without the consent of Apple’s App Store users. So far, the Cupertino company has yet to respond to the statements of two cybersecurity researchers, who apparently demonstrate that Apple does not apply what it applies to others. To the point where the court proceedings in the United States have started. A serious blemish on the white rider’s impeccable suit to protect the privacy of our digital lives. But until then, let’s be good players and realize that any educational effort is worth it.
