CarrierIQ and your iPhone

by Volker Weber

Got to Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage. It has always been "Don't Send" on my iPhones. Because Apple asks you for this setting when you activate the phone.

Go ahead and look at the data. It's available to you. Do you find all your SMS messages, your email, your secrets?

I think you may have missed a step Volker - on my iPhone (UK) it is Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage

I did. Thanks for the correction.

No problem - apparently Collaboration is what it's all about these days. ;-)

Can't find "Diagnostics & Usage" on my iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5. Is this only available under iOS 5? But I guess it's because I told iTunes not to collect that data when I first connected the iPhone with my Mac.
