Apple iPhone: Is the Apple iPhone secretly stealing your photos and data? Know here...

In today's digital age, smartphones have become a treasure trove of our personal information. In such a situation, there has always been a question on smartphones that it steals your photos and data. In such a situation, this question is now being raised on Apple iPhone as well. Apple has made many claims regarding security and privacy. Is your data completely safe? Let us understand in detail whether the iPhone is stealing your photos and data.

What is the new feature?

Recently, developer Jeff Johnson talked about a new feature of the Apple iPhone in a blog post. It has been added to iOS 18. The name of this feature is "Enhanced Visual Search". It allows data related to your photos to be sent to Apple. In turn, this feature helps in identifying or searching the landmarks appearing in your photos. This feature is on by default. Not much information was given about it till now. Along with this, Apple also did not promote it.

This is how it works.

When you open a photo of a building or landmark in your photo library. The option of “Look Up Landmark” will appear on it. Clicking on it identifies the photo. That is, you are told what this landmark or building is. A description of this feature says that this feature matches places in your photos. But it is not clear how this happens or what it means. Also, whether the data of your photo will be sent to Apple or not.

No response from Apple

Your iPhone creates a vector embedding. This is information related to the landmark part of the photo. This data and some fake queries are sent to Apple. After this, Apple sends several matches to your phone. After this, your phone chooses the correct match. Jeff Johnson has raised questions about this. However, Apple has not commented on this yet. Go to Settings on iPhone or iPad and then click on Apps. Then you can find this feature by going to Photos.
