As of last June, Applehad warneddevelopers at WWDC. The Cupertino company is introducing a new privacy label for applications on the App Store and the macOS Store with updates to iOS 14.3, iPadOS 14.3 and macOS Big Sur 11.1. Concretely, customers will therefore be able to see precisely what an application collects from them before installing it.
WhatsApp and Facebook are opposed to this measure
Apple asks developers to be transparent and in the event of failure to comply with this obligation, the sanction is very firm since the applications could be deleted from the App Store. Please note that the Apple brand applies this policy to its own services.
In a recent interview withFast Company, Craig Federighi, Apple's head of software engineering, returned to this subject. He believes that these labels are just the beginning and that Apple will refine this functionality over time. He also hopes that this idea will be imitated by the competition because it responds to real demand from consumers.
It should be remembered that these labels are far from unanimous among developers. A few days ago, we told you howWhatsApptook action against this new regulation. The managers of Facebook's messaging service believe that Apple does not take enough into consideration the efforts made by applications to protect the personal data collected.
