As time passes, others are discovered novelty compared to those announced by Apple during the opening keynote of WWDC 2023, together with the next versions of the operating systems for its products. There are some that for various reasons we didn’t know, such as the one that in the future could allow the iPhone to be used to remotely control animals left alone in the house.
Or like the one that emerged in the last few hours that has Safari as the protagonist. With iOS 17iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonomathe default web browser on various operating systems in private mode can automatically remove any URL components that track users from links. In this way, for example, the owner of a web page will not know if that user has arrived on the site through a link found on Facebook or Twitter.
Apple ensures that only the steps with which users are tracked will be removed from the URLs, leaving the part intact of the address perhaps leading to a specific page. Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection (the name given by Apple to the novelty) will cover also links sent or shared via the Messages and Mail apps, and if desired it can also be activated for normal browsing on Safari and not only when a window is opened in private mode, and at the same time those who do not want to use it can deactivate it completely.
iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma are already available for download for everyone but in version beta, we do not recommend the installation to those who need a reliable device and as free of problems or bugs as possible. In these cases, it is better to wait for the stable versions, which will probably arrive in September together with the iPhone 15 and the other autumn news.
