Apple iOS 27.2 adds setting to exclude apps from Siri AI

O que aconteceu

Apple's iOS 27.2 update introduces an "Exclude Apps" setting that lets users prevent Siri AI from accessing data in selected apps. The new UI simplifies the process, but disabling Siri AI for an app may disable related features. EFF highlights the privacy benefit and calls for similar controls on other platforms.
