Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency with the release of iOS 14.5. It requires apps to get a user’s permission before tracking their data across apps or websites owned by other companies for advertising, or sharing their data with data brokers.


The privacy feature is expected to have a significant effect on companies and sites that rely on advertising revenue.

Are you planning to allow ad tracking for apps you frequent? Let us know in the comments!

It鈥檚 not just companies/apps I frequent, it鈥檚 companies I trust. That said, I鈥檇 much rather see ads for products I could make use of. Yet Facebook is evil and I haven鈥檛 used it for years. Unfortunately, Instagram, also a FB product I do glance at occasionally. But they will not have the satisfaction of sharing my info. On the other hand, I will give full permission to the Wall Street Journal.
