Step 1: Start downloading iOS 14.5.

Step 2: Watch my exclusive interview with Apple’s Craig Federighi + read my column on all the privacy changes.

Step 3: Tap “Ask App Not to Track” or “Allow” over and over again.

This column is a result of weeks of testing apps with surprisingly compelling let-us-track-you prompts and talking to lots of people in ad industry

Whether you decide to let apps track you or not, us now having a choice is what really matters.

Also, in video you’ll find a great explaination from Federighi about why it says “Ask App Not to Track” vs. “Do Not Track” Image
I encourage you to read but definitely watch the video to better understand this all wsj.com/video/series/j…

iOS 14.5 developer beta is out and it confirms that Apple is as frustrated as all of us about unlocking the iPhone with a mask on.
It includes a new feature: Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch while wearing a mask. If you are wearing a mask and have an unlocked Apple Watch on your wrist, you can unlock FaceID on your iPhone.
Of course this requires you have an Apple Watch.

The best long-term solution? What I wrote about last week and what Apple is working on behind the scenes: an iPhone with a fingerprint sensor in the display. on.wsj.com/3pzdALe
