Exploring Expandable-Grid Designs to Make iOS App Privacy Labels More Usable
summary
A color‑coded, expandable grid replaces iOS privacy labels, implemented as interactive web pages with JavaScript logging and tested with 200 Prolific iPhone users on two real apps (VMO, Candy Crush). The grid shows purposes as columns, data types as rows with expandable subcategories, info icons and a legend link. Results show errors cut in half (control average errors 5 → treatment 2.7 across 12 questions) and 30% faster completion time, though row expansion and color/shade confusion remain.
