Apple to protect users’ privacy further by preventing iOS apps from seeing other installed apps

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook released a letter last fall emphasizing how their company works to sell products and not harvest data, which is a criticism for the likes of Google and Facebook.

Apps like Facebook and Twitter make use of this data so we’re not sure what will happen after the changes will reportedly happen once iOS 9 is released.
