Record App Activity (privacy log)

Monitor what data your apps are accessing with iOS's built-in privacy auditing tool:

Settings → Privacy & Security → Record App Activity creates a detailed log of all sensor and network activity across your installed apps.

Record App Activity settings screen

Once enabled, this feature tracks which apps access your camera, microphone, location, contacts, and network connections. After a few days of normal usage, you can export a comprehensive report showing exactly what data each app has requested and when. This transparency tool helps you make informed decisions about app permissions and identify potentially invasive apps.
