   In the 15 years since the iPhone’s debut, the world of data privacy   
   has changed significantly. Since 2007, app-privacy   
   controversies—ranging from the social network Path downloading the   
   contents of people’s address books to every weather app under the sun   
   selling location data—have snowballed, leading to concerns both   
   legitimate and misinformed, as well as the inability of many phone   
   owners to determine which threats are real. But digging through   
   history to understand where the privacy controls of iOS and Android   
   began, and how both mobile operating systems have shifted to give   
   people more control, can give you a better idea of what the true   
   threats are right now.
