What’s new in personal safety
Apple ID name change
Apple ID now is called Apple Account. This is a global update across all Apple services.
Personal Safety User Guide updates
Apple has made extensive changes to this guide, including:
New content
Get safe guide: Contextual strategies for users seeking to solve a current issue now, including urgent measures and alternative user-friendly ways to find relevant articles.
Stay safe guide: Contextual strategies for users seeking to prevent issues in the future.
Third-party app settings helps users understand the need for additional steps working with non-Apple apps.
Safety considerations encourages users to consider potential implications of making changes before acting.
Improvements
The Welcome page and table of contents were updated to prioritize pathways to solutions.
A reorganized Safety Check page unifies and replaces “How Safety Check on iPhone works to keep you safe” and “Use Safety Check on iPhone to stop sharing and secure your account.”
Checklists now have additional steps, more links to detailed information to help users customize their experience, and new names that include checklist numbers (1, 2, 3) to enhance recognition, search, and referrals.
“Additional considerations when using Safety Check” has been renamed Additional safety steps, to reflect its relevance to all users.
