iOS 8 Mac Address News
Wondering if anyone here is running iOS 8 Beta on their iDevices yet?
Bit of news I thought some people might be interested in.
"iOS randomizes the MAC addresses of iOS devices when scanning for WiFi networks, which makes it more difficult for companies to track and gather location data on a customer. Each iOS device has a unique MAC address, which could previously be used for location tracking and data collection via WiFi scanning. iOS 8 will use random, locally administered MAC addresses that "may not always be the device's real (universal) address."
Hopefully this is the way of the future, as well as the demise of UDID tracking. |
