Methods to Grant Permission for iOS Devices Files in Computer
With the alterations made in the Operating Systems of iOS devices, Apple introduced certain security enhancements. Apple introduced a new method for monitoring activation lock along with by hand activating the permission when an iOS device is synced with the system. If you ever try to connect your iOS device with system with the help of USB cable then a pop-up windows will appear on your device. It will ask you whether you trust the system or not. If you click on Trust Button, then it confirms that the user has granted the computer the permission to get into any files or folders in the system.
It means once you grant the permission then it will copy your images, mp3 files, video files and sometimes erase certain files and folders from the device also. At some point of time you may have granted permission to other computers also to access files and folders in your device. But you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
