Privacy settings checker after iOS updates

See exactly which privacy toggles an OS update flipped back on

Problem

A user reported that after upgrading to iOS 27, Siri was automatically re-enabled even though it had been turned off, with no official explanation. This is not rare: permissions people thought they disabled, like microphone, location, and personalized ads, can be reset or defaulted on after updates. Most people don't know where to check, let alone what changed.

Solution

A privacy settings snapshot and diff tool. Users save a snapshot before updating, then after the update see which toggles changed, with step-by-step guidance to restore them. It never reads private data, only records toggle states and OS version, entirely on-device.

Users

Privacy-conscious iPhone and iPad users, plus people who help family members check device settings.

MVP

Guide users to screenshot or manually record key privacy toggles; diff and highlight changes after update; provide short explanations and restore steps; support snapshots for multiple devices; all data stored locally, never uploaded.

Revenue

Free basic diff, $2.99 one-time upgrade for multi-device snapshots and change history.

Why now

OS updates are more frequent and complaints about reset privacy settings are rising, but Apple won't proactively notify users. An indie developer can build a lightweight checker cheaply and gain organic spread around each major release.
