Apple private MAC feature in iOS14, WatchOS7

Are you aware of this change?
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211227

Does this mean that returning Apple users will not be recognised and will have to log in again through the captive portal every 24 hours?
Or is there some other way to automatically identify returning users?

Hi,
thank you for your advice.
We already know about this Android/iOs feature.
We must understand what Apple means for "periodically".
Once a technical guide will be available, we will study it and check how to operate.
Have a nice day.

According to this article https://wifinowglobal.com/news-and-blog ... pert-says/
periodically means every 24 hours

We must wait for official documentation but it is a great point to start.

After indsutry feedback it looks like Apple may change to the default behaviour of Android - a different (but fixed) MAC for every SSID.

Hi Andrushka
Thanks for informations. This is a good news :-)
In this way there should not be any problem with "Device recognition"

Thanks again

Best regards
