iOS 12.2. A new important function has been implemented by the Apple company for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch by the Apple company, it is thought to give us a better user experience. More precisely, starting with iOS 12.2, the Safari browser will show much more clearly if a website we visit is protected with an HTTPS security certificate, or if it does not have such a modification implemented, thus making it potentially dangerous for us.
iOS 12.2. Below is an example where the Romanian Ministry of Health website does not have an HTTPS security certificate implemented to secure connections between users and the server. We shouldn't expect too much from government websites, but even so, iOS 12.2 will mark all internet pages that are not safe to visit, and you should be very careful about what you access in your daily life by day.
