As part of its new operating system it unveiled today, Apple added a 'Safety Check' feature that lets users quickly limit who has access to their personal information, including passwords and location.
Monday, Apple described the new feature as a "privacy tool" that can help "users whose personal safety is at risk from domestic or intimate partner violence by quickly removing all access they’ve granted to others."
The feature enables users to quickly sign out of iCloud on all their devices, limit messaging to only the device they have with them, reset privacy permissions, and manage which people and apps have access to their personal information.
