Apple has rolled out new iOS app privacy tags for both first-party and third-party apps for a while. To fully understand how your information is used, we took a closer look at how you can control iOS app privacy details on apps from the App Store as well as pre-installed apps on iPhone and iPad.
How does App Store App Privacy work?
What is Application Monitoring Transparency?
Application Monitoring Transparency; Requires program developers to request permission to track you through other apps and websites on your iPhone. “So why are the developers following me?” If you ask, let’s explain it like this:
As you know, advertisements that have become a part of our lives in the digital world are present in every application. What’s more, there are now user-specific ads. For example, you must have witnessed that a product you researched on the internet appeared as an advertisement on social media after 5 minutes. To do this, apps need to know what you’re interested in, and they need to follow you constantly to know.
Until this time, app developers were free to follow users. At least, there was no feature that prevented tracking in operating systems. But Apple gave the user all the authority to follow with the iOS 14.5 update. Regardless of the application, any action you take on your phone will not be tracked from the moment you revoke its permission.
