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!

The day they start charging for using Facebook is the day I delete my Facebook account. Goodbye Instagram too. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

It’s not just companies/apps I frequent, it’s companies I trust. That said, I’d much rather see ads for products I could make use of. Yet Facebook is evil and I haven’t 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.
