Easy Wi-Fi connection with QR codes
To connect to a new Wi-Fi network, you can now scan a QR code instead of typing the password. You can
also help others connect to a network you're on by sharing a QR code.
To share your hotspot, your phone can generate a QR code your friends can scan to connect instantly. No
need to give them your phone’s hotspot name and password (but you can still use that method, too). Learn

Security enhancements
Privacy
•
Settings now includes a Privacy menu, with more permissions to preserve privacy. Easily see and
adjust which apps have access to your phone data and features, like which apps can use the camera or
microphone.
•
Better controls for file management allow you to restrict access to tracking identifiers, such as IMEI,
serial number, and other IDs.
Location
•
Settings now includes a Location menu, with better control over location data and sharing. Learn
more.
•
When apps request permission to your location, you’ll see a pop-up where you can control when the
app accesses your location (never, only when app is open, or always).
•
If you've set an app to always be able to access your location, you'll see a pop-up when it accesses your
location in the background.
