    • If you’re using the Selfie camera, choose between the regular selfie option (the icon with 1 person) or the Wide selfie option (the icon with 2 people).

Privacy and security

If you’re concerned about letting others see your data, you can use the Private Share feature when sending messages that contain pictures or other files. You can grant access to certain people only, so only they can view or forward your files. Private Share will also prompt you with an alert if you’re about to share sensitive or personal information, such as an ID card.

The Privacy dashboard takes your security a step further by letting you see exactly which apps and services have been given permission to use your phone’s camera, microphone, or location. 

  1. Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Security and privacy, and then tap Privacy.

  2. The dashboard will appear at the top of the screen. Tap View all permissions, and then tap Start to check up on all of your phone’s current permissions.

  3. Tap Back, and then tap Permission manager to adjust the permissions as needed.
