Are Your Apps Spying On You? Now You Can Find Out

Taking control of your privacy is a hot topic these days. Permission settings on Android and iOS allow you to control which apps have access to your data.

Microsoft is now improving this in Windows 11. It is testing a new feature called Privacy Auditing.

You will be able to control which applications can access your camera and microphone, as well as view a log of previous accesses. You will also be able to see which apps have accessed your screenshots, messages, and location information.

That's great for detecting suspicious activity and safeguarding sensitive data. This feature is still being tested. When it is released, you should be able to find it in your privacy and security menu under app settings.

In the meantime, if you would like someone to review the data permissions on your company's devices feel free to contact us.
