Confused about what Local Network Access means for your iPhone or iPad? Let's break it down into simple steps for better control and security.
What does Local Network Access mean?
Local Network Access lets you decide which apps can connect to devices on your home network—like a gatekeeper deciding who can enter.
Is it safe to allow apps this access?
Be cautious. Not every app needs to peek into your local network. Limit access to apps that need it, like streaming services or home automation apps.
How do I manage Local Network Access?
Follow these easy steps to adjust app permissions:
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap Privacy.
- Select Local Network.
- You'll see a list of apps. Toggle the switch next to each app to grant or deny access.
Unsure about an app? If in doubt, keep access disabled to protect your privacy.
