IOS 10 "differential Privacy" Technology: automatically differentiates and collects information

­according to the TechRadar website, readers who have followed our report on Apple's Global developer Conference 2016 know that iOS 10 will collect more user information so that it can better meet its own needs. Apple will adopt a technology called differential Privacy (differential privacy), which intelligently collects information but does not involve users' personal or sensitive information.

­Apple explained the application of differential privacy technology in iOS 10 to the technology blog Re/code. First, it uses a complete "selective join" strategy-users must turn on the switch if they allow Apple to use this technology to collect data.

Second, Apple will first collect four specific types of data: new words added to local dictionaries, emoticons entered by users, deep links within apps and search tips in notes, ­TechRadar said.

Many of the predictive and proactive elements of ­iOS will remain entirely on the device, and no data will be transferred back to Apple servers-users don't have to worry about the date and time of their dance lessons being known to Apple engineers.

­Apple will continue to differ from Google in terms of privacy, and even with the growing influence of voice assistants such as Siri and Google Now, it seems that users can sacrifice some privacy in exchange for more practical artificial intelligence technology.

IOS 10, which is scheduled for release this year, also includes improvements to lock screen notifications, a simplified control center, more 3D Touch shortcuts, Siri support for third-party applications, better photo recognition and many other features, ­TechRadar said. (Wen Xin)
