Apple is making data generated through its native GPS app available to governments and other agencies looking to track mobility under COVID-19 isolation orders, The Daily Mail reports.
Specifically, Apple says that it will use navigation requests that are entered into its app - the information one enters into the app's search bar - and then compare the volume of those queries to prior data.
This will, according to the company, 'reflect a change in volume of people driving, walking or taking public transit around the world.'
