data mining

This is the continuation of a series of articles, that help you divorce your life from BIG TECH. With the recent events in American Politics, the need for these guides has become apparent. I hope this guide assists in your journey to protect yourself.

Each and every time you download an app to your iPad or your iPhone, Siri jumps in and attempts to mine data about you, your behaviors, and they send this data back to BIG TECH…. Here is how to protect yourself from it

After downloading an application onto your iPad or your iPhone
From the device’s “Desktop”
Open the Settings App
Scroll down to the Application section where the recently installed application shows up
Click on the Application
Select Siri & Search from the menu on the Right
In this sub menu, deselect (Change from Green to Grey) each item
Learn from this App
Show Suggestions from APP

You will also have to do this for every single app that was installed prior. I also suggest after every major update, you double check to ensure your settings have not been changed
