IOS 18 CRACKS DOWN ON APPS ASKING FOR FULL ADDRESS BOOK ACCESS
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
Apple unveiled new privacy features in iOS 18 that restrict apps from accessing users' full address books. Apps must first get permission to access contacts before users can pick which specific contacts to share. This two-step process aims to prevent apps from covertly building social networks from address books without consent.
