Google added a privacy label to Gmail for iOS

Last year, Apple launched a new feature “App Privacy Label” for the App Store. This feature requires developers to mark all the user privacy content used by the app. All applications need to comply.

Google said in early January this year that all user privacy content that it will use will be added to the Google App in the App Store “this week or next week”.

For so long, Google has only added privacy notes to YouTube and apps that use less private content, but Google Photos and Google Maps that use more private content have not been added the privacy label, so these large apps have been in a “stopped update” state. Gmail has stopped updating for almost two months for iOS users.

Until recently, Google finally updated and added a privacy label for Gmail. It clearly shows that Gmail will use the user’s purchase, location, contact, data network, search history, and other data for product analysis and personality.

What is embarrassing is that during the period when Google stopped updating Gmail for so long, a pop-up window appeared in the Gmail app to remind users that the app had expired and needed to be updated. Google immediately removed this notification after learning about it.

With the addition of the Gmail privacy label, we will see more Google apps adding privacy label messages, which will play a very good role in our privacy protection.
