App Iris turns Apple’s App Privacy Report into an interactive timeline of every sensor access and network connection on your iPhone or iPad—so you can answer who, what, when, and where in minutes, without forensic tools.

How it works
From raw report to real answers in three steps.
Apple’s built-in privacy viewer shows some of this data, but it isn’t searchable and leaves out critical details like event timestamps. App Iris illuminates every available detail.
- 01
Export your report
On iPhone or iPad, open Settings › Privacy & Security › App Privacy Report and tap Save App Privacy Report.
- 02
Open it in App Iris
Share it straight to App Iris on the same device, or send it to your Mac with AirDrop® or iCloud® Drive.
- 03
Investigate
Filter, correlate, and enrich every event. Tag and export findings when you need to document them.
Features
Built by investigators. Designed for everyone.
Other privacy tools stop at summaries and charts. App Iris gives you an enriched, timeline-first view of the data so you can move from charts to actual answers.
Timeline
Every access and connection on one timeline
See each recorded sensor access and network event on an interactive, color-coded timeline. Zoom from a full week down to minutes to spot patterns and short bursts of activity.
- Location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, media library, and screen recording
- Configurable time zone offsets
- Summary statistics and top apps at a glance
Event correlation
Click any event to see what else was happening
Select an event to see the surrounding activity and full connection details, like an app reaching a tracker while your camera was active.
- First, most recent, and total connections
- App-initiated versus user-initiated context
- Raw event data one click away
Geolocation & maps
See where your data actually goes
Enrich domains and IP addresses with location, ISP, and network details, then explore every connection on an interactive world map.
- Country, city, ISP, and ASN for each address
- Hosting, mobile, and proxy or VPN indicators
- Tracking domains highlighted on the map
Insights
Know which apps talk to whom
Break network activity down by app, owner, and country. Find tracking domains shared across apps, then sort and export the results.
- Domains per app, with owners and tracking flags
- Domains by country and across apps
- Sortable tables with CSV export
Also in App Iris
Filtering & search
Filter by app, category, date range, or duration. Search bundle IDs, TLDs, and subnets.
Easy import
Share a report directly to App Iris, or move it between devices with AirDrop or iCloud Drive.
Extended timelines
Pro merges overlapping reports so you can analyze beyond Apple’s 7-day window.
Tag & annotate
Pro lets you flag events of interest and document what you found.
Case management
Pro organizes multiple devices and investigations in local case databases.
Export
Export findings to CSV for reports, review, or further analysis.
Who it’s for
Insight for anyone who needs to know.
High-risk individuals

What is an App Privacy Report?
App Privacy Report is a feature Apple introduced in iOS 15.2 that records which apps access sensitive device resources (camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, media library, screen recording) and what network domains they connect to. The report covers a rolling 7-day window.
How do I get my App Privacy Report?
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings › Privacy & Security › App Privacy Report. If it’s not already enabled, turn it on and wait a few days for data to accumulate. Then tap “Save App Privacy Report” to export an NDJSON file, or share it directly to App Iris on your iOS device.
Does App Iris work with iPad® reports?
Yes. App Privacy Reports from any iOS v15.2+ device can be analyzed in App Iris.
Is my data sent anywhere?
Reports are processed and stored locally on your device. App Iris only connects out when a feature needs it: online geolocation lookups (which send only the selected domain or IP address to ip-api or another provider you configure), looking up friendly names and icons for your apps, and loading map tiles. You can download a local lookup database to keep geolocation on-device.
Why can I only see 12 hours on the Basic tier?
The free Basic tier lets you explore the most recent 12-hour window of any report so you can evaluate the app before subscribing. Personal and Pro tiers unlock full report analysis with no time restrictions.
Can I analyze more than 7 days of data?
Yes. Apple’s report covers a rolling 7-day window, but with Pro you can import and store multiple report exports over time. Pro’s case management automatically merges overlapping data to build extended timelines.
What’s the difference between Personal and Pro?
Personal is ideal for individual users who want to analyze reports from their own device(s), including Insights with CSV export. Pro adds light case management, multi-report deduplication and aggregation, event tagging, annotations, and export of tagged findings — features designed for security analysts and investigators conducting reviews of multiple devices.
Are there limitations in the App Privacy Data?
There are some known limitations to be mindful of. For instance, deleting an app removes its history from future privacy reports. Domains contacted while using private browsing are not captured in the report. And only the first, last, and total count of network connections to a specific domain or address are saved.
Can my App Privacy Reports be saved and processed automatically?
Apple does not allow automatic export of App Privacy Reports. However, App Iris includes an optional home screen shortcut that takes you directly to the export feature with one tap, and reports can be shared directly to App Iris. The shortcut can be scheduled to prompt you daily or weekly. If you use App Iris on a Mac or iPad and the source iOS device is nearby, you can also send the report wirelessly with AirDrop®, or store it in an iCloud® Drive folder both devices can access.
