This Woman Is Warning People About Using The iPhone Journal App. – ‘It makes you discoverable by people around you.’
by Matthew Gilligan
Have you heard about the Journal app on iPhone?
I honestly haven’t, but apparently it’s pretty popular with iPhone users.
But one TikTokker named Kelly took to the social media platform to warn folks about the app.
Kelly said, “You know how Apple put on our iPhones recently the Journaling app? It’s obviously geared towards women, and at first, I was like, ‘Great. Cool. I love this.’”
After she did some more investigating, she became worried about a feature of the app.
Kelly told viewers, “Apparently, it makes you discoverable by people around you. That to me feels like such a security risk and a safety risk as a woman, to just, like, have this automatically be put on my phone in the settings.”
Kelly then showed viewers how to turn the feature off that makes them discoverable.
Here’s what she had to say.
@kellysites Can someone who knows more about online security tell me what this setting means? #iphonetricks #iphonesettings #womensafety
