WWDC 2021: Apple announces new privacy features for iCloud, Siri and more

Apple announced updates to privacy in different apps at WWDC. Apple is adding new privacy features to the Mail app, Siri, Safari and iCloud. There’s also a new ‘iCloud+’ service with added privacy features. Starting with the Mail app, it will now be able to block tracking pixels in emails that will prevent others from finding out if you have opened the email. Safari has also been updated to hide IP addresses.

Apple is also adding an App Privacy Report in iOS 15. Siri is also getting on-device speech recognition. This will make all Siri recordings processed on-device. This also enables offline support on Siri so you can now ask questions without an internet connection.
