Telemetry is opt-in. It asks you during setup.
- walthamstow 11mo agoIsn't the checkbox already ticked though? I'd say that's opt-out. The user must take direct action to avoid telemetry.
- resonanttoe 11mo agoIt's not a check box, its a button choice ("Share diagnostics" "Don't Share") It's pretty explicit in intent.
- s1mplicissimus 11mo agoUsually, there's a default blue bordered button and a non-highlighted grey one. Any chance the default blue button says "Share diagnostics"? Because that would still make it an opt-out
- smugtrain 11mo agoTechnically yes, but most would consider an opt-out some tiny little nearly illegible that confuses the user into allowing it without deselecting. This is a clear choice given to the user. No gimmicky opt-outs.
- Shadowmist 11mo agoWith Liquid glAss CarPlay on non touchscreen cars they changed the button colors so that gray is the selected item and blue/green are not selected. Also they changed the back on-screen button to be the default, or sometimes they select the item you want but then a second later change focus to the back button. When you first use CarPlay there are consent screens so there are definitely people out there who have picked the wrong one.
- walthamstow 11mo agoMy mistake, I misremembered. s1mplicissimus makes a very good point. What I do remember is it's designed to capture telemetry opt-in of people who aren't savvy and just click next, next, next.
- m463 11mo agonot all telemetry some cannot be disabled ("anonymized") some is still opt-out just off the top of my head on iphone: settings -> search -> help apple improve search
