In the first beta of iOS 11.3, which arrived to registered developers earlier today, Apple has included an interesting new privacy icon.
Apple provides an intro screen to the new icon when setting up iOS 11.3.
The icon will appear only when an Apple app or feature is asking to use your personal information.
In an explainer screen shown when setting up iOS 11.3, Apple says the icon will only appear when necessary to enable features, secure service, or offer a personalized experience.
On the screen, Apple also explains more about its privacy stance and mentions a number of different ways that its products protect users information.
The final version of iOS 11.3 should arrive sometime this spring.
