In the wake of the recent battle with FBI over iPhone encryption, Apple was known to be ramping up its phone security system. The upcoming iOS 9.3 update release says to be working on just that, with the ability to know if your employer is tracking your device as well!If an iPhone is being tracked by a company, the device will clearly mark it in the About page of Settings and the lockscreen, says 9To5Mac. The message stating, 'This iPhone is managed by your organisation' will be seen at the bottom of the screen.The current iOS versions do not have the ability to indicate the kind of control a company-locked device has. But iOS 9.3 will introduce transparency and indicate if the employer is tracking the device.The next version is expected to start rolling out by the end of the month. The company also plans to launch the upcoming 4-inch iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro on March 21, and it is quite likely the new version may be introduced then.Though not a big release, the iOS 9.3 gets quite crucial when it comes to the security, given the onging better battle between Apple and FBI. For those living under the rock, Apple chief Tim Cook has refused a court order that wants the company to break into the iPhone owned by San Bernardino shooter, Syed Farook. Farook, along with his wife Tashfeen Malik, were responsible for killing 14 people on December 2 last year. Click here, to know what's it all about and the story so far.
