After a considerable delay, Apple has finally released its "controversial" App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature to the wild, alongside the launch of iOS 14.5 earlier today. And now, just in time, Apple's Craig Federighi has some comments on the matter.
Apple has been working on the next update for iPhone and iPad for quite some time, seeding more than half dozen betas in the process. But now iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 are now live.
More and more frequently, iPhone and iPad users are being pushed by Apple or third parties to take advantage of two-factor authentication or text-messaged short codes to confirm their identity when logging in to apps and services.
These messages can add up over time, especially if you use many apps and services that you log in or out of frequently, resulting in excessive conversation buildup in the Messages app.

Paranoia often sets in when you realize just how much of your personal life resides on your device. This can cause worry when lending your device even for just a few moments because you never know if that person will dig through your messages, photos, or other sensitive data.

Apple bills the App Store as a "safe space" for customers and developers. It has a review process that's meant to look over every app before it's approved for sale, which is meant to keep customers from being preyed upon. However, it doesn't always pan out that way.
Hot on the heels of a report detailing a surge in malware being developed for macOS, a new one has been discovered that's specifically targeting developers.
Way, way back in 2017 Facebook rolled out support for hardware security keys for its desktop experience. Now, several years later, that same support is finally arriving for its mobile app experience.
