Tech News: Apple iOS Update Fixes Its Location Tracking Feature

 

Apple has released a software update for the iOS that aims to fix �bugs� that enables location data being unencrypted and stored for up to a year.

The iOS 4.3.3 update, which was released yesterday, is expected to reduce the cache of saved data on devices as well as disallows iTunes from storing location information on users� computers.

This comes after Apple was criticized for storing up to a year�s worth of users� location data. The update, which will work on all iDevices, will now log users� movements of up to a week. Users will also have an option to turn off location services, which will cause location data to be deleted.
