Apple is set to report first-quarter earnings results after U.S. markets close on Tuesday. About nine out of ten iOS users in the United States opted out of the ad tracking feature that Apple launched since iOS 14.5, an ongoing study of the iOS App Tracking Transparency showed.  It turns out that the day Facebook has been dreading has come.  Apple's new privacy feature is, indeed, winnin...

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.

If you have updated to iOS 14.5 (which you should), launching Facebook and Instagram will result in notice detailing the update and ...

And don’t get me started on how creepy it is to have my laptop listen to me, as proven by weird ads that suddenly appear after using words not in my normal conversational repertoire, like “barbed wire”. The idea that there are that many trapdoors to close, plus no doubt ...

As Apple has rolled out App Tracking Transparency features on iOS allowing users to block apps from data collection, Facebook has been one of the most vocal forces in opposition to the privacy measure. Facebook’s user data collection has long been the core of its targeted advertising measures and a feature like App Tracking Transparency represents a very real threat to its otherwise unchecked operation. With that, it should come as no surprise that as App Tracking Transparency has arrived in iOS 14.5, Facebook’s has put out messaging across its core app and Instagram claiming that the new...
