This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent your iPhone from automatically sending Apple information about your iPhone's location, how well its apps are running, and the way its operating system responds to things like geographical or network-based changes.
Steps
-
1Open your iPhone's Settings. This is the grey gear icon that can be found either as a stock app or inside of a folder named "Utilities" on one of your phone's Home screens.
-
2Scroll to the third group of options and tap Privacy.
-
3Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Diagnostics & Usage.
-
4Select Don't Send. If there's already a checkmark next to "Don't Send", your iPhone isn't sending Diagnostics and Usage data to Apple.[1]
Warnings
- The Diagnostics & Usage Data menu still records all of your usage data for local access, meaning anyone can find and view it.[2]Thanks!
