To protect users’ privacy, developers must put their apps through regression testing to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs after changes have been made.
Most people’s phone screens are a melange of different-colored app icons. Many of these apps either ask for permission to make changes to your phone’s privacy settings or, based on the terms of service, just go ahead and do it.
The objective of most apps is to provide you with a service in exchange for your data. You get a convenient way to order food with a few clicks and swipes, UberEats gets to learn about what you like to order and when so it can better market and advertise to you.
The problem is, many of the privacy setting requests and changes made by some of these apps are ones you would probably rather deny. Below are some tips to help you optimize your app settings for privacy.
OS Updates and Privacy
Not only should you immediately go to the app settings on your phone as soon as you download a new app, but you should repeat the process anytime you update your phone’s operating system.
This is because major changes to any application or operating system can end up leaving them vulnerable to hacking and misuse. Developers should always make sure to perform rigorous regression testing on their software anytime wholesale changes are made to ensure there are no glaring vulnerabilities.
