Apple Releases iOS 17.5 with Enhanced Tracking Protection
Tech giant Apple has rolled out the latest version of its operating system, iOS 17.5, now available for download and installation on supported iPhone devices. This release comes with enhanced core system support for detecting unwanted tracking tools.
Developed in collaboration with Google, this means that Apple’s Find My networks and Google’s new Find My Device networks will work together to thwart unwanted tracking and surveillance attempts by alerting you if a tracking device not belonging to you is moving with you. These notifications will work regardless of the device’s operating system.
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. Users in the European Union also have the ability to download apps directly from websites, bypassing the app store (or any other third-party app store) completely, similar to Windows or Android.
Apple News now has an offline mode for News+, allowing access to the Today tab and News+ tab even when you don’t have an internet connection. In News+ related news, it also gets a new game, along with stats and player rankings in puzzles.
iOS is an operating system that was first introduced in early 2007 as Apple’s operating system for its iPhone. Later on, it became the default system for the iPod Touch and the iPad with a modified version tailored to fit the larger screen dimensions. The system is part of the Mac OS family of operating systems.
