From ZDNet, helpful tips to keep the spybots away.
iOS 7 installed? Check.
Data restored? Check.
Life is good and time to fire up your favorite iTunes Radio station, right?
Not so fast.
Before diving into the beautiful, parallaxy, candy-colored world that is iOS 7, you need to adjust your privacy settings on your iPhone or iPad. If you like your Privacy, that is. Installing iOS 7 is pretty easy and, even if you don’t back up your data ahead of time, it will usually put everything back right where it belongs.
Simple, right?
Well yes, that’s how iOS 7 is designed to work. But don’t let Apple’s thin Helvetica Neue and and serene, dynamic wallpapers lull you into complacency. A whole number iOS upgrade is a big deal and it resets a bunch of your settings and adds other new ones that you should be aware of
Apple hides its System Services settings all the way down at the bottom of the Privacy > Location Services panel. If you’ve owned your iPhone for more than a few months you’ll have dozens (if not a hundred plus) app lists on this screen, making it a very long scroll. If you actually make it to the bottom of the list (most people don’t) you’ll see the fabled System Services setting and the explanation of what that little purple arrow icons means.
Thank-you. Good info.
Thank you for the information. I was getting ready to look for information on CNET and am glad I choose to go to Tammy’s Home page to catch up on the news and there was the information for the privacy settings for iOS 7.
Thanks again.
And in other privacy news; a Danish firm that has the contract to clean the London Underground tube stations wants its staff to clock in and out by fingerprint technology. The workers object and for now, will be using the old card clock-in system. http://www.dw.de/london-tube-staff-oppose-introduction-of-fingerprint-recognition-machines/a-17100347
