ReCaptcha may be the most annoying feature of the internet in recent years. Although it is an important security measure for companies, spending time on these tests makes us mentally tired. Tests that we come across several times, that are not displayed properly and that are difficult, are among the situations that make us tired. Fortunately, thanks to a feature that will come with iOS 16, we will see ReCaptcha tests less than before.
iOS 16 was introduced at the recent WWDC 2022 event. Along with it, we have seen important announcements about other Apple products. We shared the innovations worth reading with you instantly and collected them on this page.
iOS 16 will allow bypassing some ReCaptcha tests
Apple must have realized that its users were bored with the ‘Verify not a robot’ tests, so it developed a solution. This solution is made possible by the reliability of the Apple ID you use on your device. If you do not exhibit unusual actions with the device you use your Apple ID and act like a normal user, your account is considered trustworthy. Thanks to this reliability, Apple gives you the right to skip ReCaptcha tests on some sites.
The reason why websites constantly ask you if you are a robot is to prevent bot traffic that harms the site. Bots that aim to crash the server by creating empty traffic on the site cannot solve the ReCaptcha tests, so the traffic is filtered. But in the process, non-robots—ours—must solve these simple but boring tests. Since this sometimes takes our time in important transactions, the solution produced by Apple will make us smile from time to time.
We can already predict that the ReCaptcha solution, which will be used with iOS 16, will also be used in other new generation operating systems. However, it is not currently possible to give a date for when this will be possible. We hope that such solutions will come into play on both iOS and Android sides as soon as possible.
