If you haven’t downloaded iOS 14.5 yet, experts recommend you do so now, as the update includes an important update that will impact your privacy.

Apple’s iOS 14.5 includes a feature called App Tracking Transparency, which lets you control which apps get your data. You probably already know that your favorite apps are constantly tracking you behind the scenes, but Apple is giving control back to users.

“This is a huge step forward in the fight to reclaim our privacy,” Mark Weinstein, MeWe's founder and chief evangelist, told Lifewire over the phone.

In addition to the ability to unlock your phone while wearing a face mask and the addition of new Siri voices, iOS 14.5 updates include a new App Tracking Transparency feature, which experts are calling “the most significant digital privacy improvement in the history of the internet.”
