Apple is putting an end to the annoying CAPTCHAs that make users prove they are in fact human and not a robot.
CAPTCHAs – that's 'completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart' – are these are the tests that ask you to select objects from a group of pictures.
The tech giant is adding 'automatic verification' with its upcoming iOS 16, set to launch this fall, which automatically and privately verifies the device in use and its Apple ID account in the background.
The feature will be available for both iPhones and Macs and is activated by toggling the option in Password and Security located in Settings.
