These stats are U.S.-specific, but I’d expect Canadians to be closely following the trend as well. When Apple finally released iOS 14.5 in late April, the key new feature included in the update was ‘App Tracking Transparency.’ This allows users to choose if they want to allow developers to share their data with advertising companies. This means Facebook is still scraping your data, but it can’t track you across multiple apps and services that it doesn’t own. In simple terms, enabling ...

May 06, 2021 Unsplash iOS 14.5 is here and so is App Tracking Transparency. This is a new privacy feature that aims to protect users privacy. Starting in iOS 14.5 (and also iPadOS 14.5 and tvOS 14.5), apps will now have to specifically ask users for permission to track their activities and gain access to their random advertising identifier or Identifier for Advertisers. These identifiers are important because it enables apps to deliver targeted advertisements. If you have updated to iOS 14.5 ...
