Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of more privacy coming in iOS 11. Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Thursday.
iOS 11 Privacy: , reports BGR. This change will make it so that all apps in iOS 11 will have a “While Using the App” option for location tracking. This stops apps from constantly tracking where a person is, even when not in use. Uber is one of the more popular apps that continues to track its users even when it isn’t in use, but this change will put a stop to that.
iOS 11 Screen Effects
: , MacRumors notes. The first of the new screen effects is called “Echo.” It will have the messages repeating on a person’s screen over and over again. The second screen effect is “Spotlight.” This effect will cause the device’s screen to darken, expect for a circle of light that will remain around the message. Owners of Apple devices will start being able to use these new screen effects when iOS 11 comes out later this year.
AirPods Pairing: , reports 9to5Mac. When tvOS 11 comes out, it will allow AirPods to automatically pair to the TV. This is a feature that is already present in the company’s mobile device and computers. The AirPods look for the same iCloud account when pairing. This feature was discovered in the first developer beta of tvOS 11.
