> unless you explicitly choose to help improve them. Is it opt-in or opt-out? Big difference.

  Opt-in = explicit and opt-out = implicit. You can't have implicit opt-in, that wouldn't make any sense.
  - cassianoleal 4d ago
    You can't have implicit opt-out either. Opting is an explicit act.

  Explicitly choosing to help improve something by providing your data seems like an opt-in but what do I know these days

  So far Apple has been using default-checked checkbox during onboarding process for OS-level “help us improve…” diagnostics collection. Not sure about this specifically.
  - dented42 4d ago
    I don’t think that counts as an automatic opt-in, given that it’s presented to the user directly during the setup process.

      It means my mother will have it on, at least, if they use the same pattern.
