iPhone is a powerful device for storing and sharing personal information, photos, videos, and more.

Apple’s new Journal app helps you reflect on everyday moments and special events, and uses on-device machine learning to create personalized suggestions for your journal entries.
However, some of these suggestions may contain sensitive or personal data that you want to keep private.
