Apple addressed privacy problems by calling out trackers around the world at its WWDC developer conference. To address that, the company introduced a new sign in method: Sign in with Apple.

At its WWDC conference in San Jose, Apple today announced the Apple Watch would receive a standalone version of the App Store. This feature, which will come as part of WatchOS 6, will allow users to download, purchase, and install applications without needing to reach for their iPhone. Showcasing the WatchOS App Store, Kevin Lynch demonstrated the platform’s discoverability features, as well as the ease in which users can manage the applications they download.

Apple opened today’s WWDC event with a few quick updates to its tvOS. In between the new iOS updates and the death of iTunes, it doesn’t sound that world-changing, but the new tvOS will offer some quality updates — including multiple user profiles, so that each family member can have their own list of shows. Tim Cook started by revealing a new home screen, with full-screen content previews for every show in your list — and every user who has their own profile will have a personalized “Up Next” list. Apple also revealed it’d be offering more Apple Music support on TV — the TV will…
