The issue with Apple is transparency. I want a dashboard like Google provides to see what they are collecting, let me delete and download like Google does.

Both companies have basically the same terms with privacy.

I believe Apple is adding something like this to iCloud fairly soon, as part of GDPR preparations.


Man I hope you are correct. I love google having all my devices with apps and permissions granted all in one place. I hope Apple copies exactly. Plus finally disclose what they are collecting and able to remove and download like Google.



Thanks for the link! But I am in the US? Will Apple be transparent in the US like Google is?

More than anything I just want to be able to remove what Apple has on me as I want all my data in a single place when possible.

So I share my location with my family with Google Maps and do NOT want my location also to be at Apple for example.

But Apple is the worse like this. They are far less transparent than Google and that bugs me about Apple.

Plus considering Apple gave all their users data over to the China government versus Google fought the China government Apple has a horrible record with privacy and looks for a buck will give up your data.
