MacOS Settings Post-Upgrade: A Guide to Preserving Your Privacy

Summary:

In this webinar, George initiates the discussion by highlighting some significant changes that users may notice after updating their MacOS. He stresses on the importance of checking certain settings post an upgrade, as the operating system sometimes modifies user preferences. Using a specific example of an upgrade from Ventura to Sonoma, George pointed out that the new OS version had altered settings to allow all system services to access his location and turned on iCloud Keychain, both against his preferences. The key focus was on how these automated changes might compromise the user's privacy and security. George walked the audience through a step-by-step guide to rectifying these changes, emphasizing location services, microphone settings, camera access, analytics, input monitoring, and screen recording. He rounded off his segment by underscoring the importance of enabling file vault for enhanced security.
