How to Enable and Use iPhone's App Privacy Report on iOS 15.2 and Later

Information is power for iPhone users seeking control over their privacy. With iOS 15.2 and later, the App Privacy Report delivers detailed insights into how often apps access sensitive data—like your location or microphone—and tracks their web activity, including associated domains.

This feature is disabled by default but easy to turn on if your device is updated to iOS 15.2 or newer:

• Go to Settings > Privacy > App Privacy Report (found at the bottom of the screen).
• Tap Turn On App Privacy Report.

Access the report via the same path in Settings. For quicker access, add a shortcut to your home screen or use Siri.

Data collection starts immediately but may take a few minutes to populate. Once ready, the report reveals:

• Apps accessing your data in the last seven days. Tap any app for timestamps of recent accesses—expect to scroll through details.

• App network activity. Tap an app to view contacted domains.

• Most contacted domains. Tap a domain for a list of apps that reached out and when.

To disable, revisit Settings > Privacy > App Privacy Report and select Turn Off App Privacy Report. Note: This deletes all collected data.
