You are being secretly tracked by your iPhone with little-known setting - here's how to turn it off

Apple is secretly tracking users through a feature that was turned on by default during a previous iOS 17 update. When the Journal app released in December 2023, a privacy setting was automatically switched to on. It allows people to interact with your iPhone when they are nearby. To turn yours off, go to the Privacy & Security tab in the settings folder. It should say'Discoverable by Others'.
