Why Should You Stop It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who are wondering \u201cWhat does app tracking actually mean?\u201d I\u2019ll explain in simple terms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">App tracking happens when an app follows your activity across other apps and websites. You may have noticed that apps often ask for permission to access a unique identifier on your phone called the \u201cAdvertising Identifier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can think of this identifier as a digital license plate for your device. It won\u2019t contain your name or email address, but companies use it to connect your activity across different apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you look at some bath and body products in one shopping app. Next thing you know, a completely different platform shows you ads for those exact products a few minutes later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This happens because both apps accessed your advertising identifier and shared that information with advertisers. This kind of tracking may be legal and common, but you do not have to accept it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Apples_App_Tracking_Transparency_Work\"><\/span>How Does Apple&#8217;s App Tracking Transparency Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple introduced the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature with iOS 14.5 in 2021. This feature ensures that every app asks for your explicit permission before it can track you across other external apps and websites. You&#8217;ve probably seen these pop-ups many times every time you download and open new apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These pop-ups usually give you two choices:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Allow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The app can track your activity across other apps and websites.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ask App Not to Track<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The app can\u2019t access your advertising identifier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you say no to app tracking on iPhone, you cut off access to your advertising identifier. It\u2019s what advertisers and data brokers use to link your activity, build profiles about you, and trade that data for targeted ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These apps can still collect information you choose to share with them, but they can no longer conduct cross-app tracking on iPhone or turn that behavior into a larger advertising profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people tap &#8220;Allow&#8221; just to make the pop-up go away quickly. However, each time you do, you give away more of your privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Stop_App_Tracking_on_iPhone_via_3_Simple_Methods\"><\/span>How to Stop App Tracking on iPhone via 3 Simple Methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need the best way to prevent cross-app tracking on iPhone? Here are 3 methods that you can choose from:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_%E2%80%93_Stop_iPhone_App_Tracking_When_You_Install_a_New_App\"><\/span>Method 1 &#8211; Stop iPhone App Tracking When You Install a New App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you download a new app and open it for the first time, Apple requires that app to show you a tracking request pop-up. This is your first and simplest chance to stop app tracking on iPhone. Here&#8217;s what you need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download an app from the App Store as usual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once installed, launch the app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the pop-up appears asking for permission to track, look carefully at the two options.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select &#8220;<\/span><b>Ask App Not to Track<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; instead of &#8220;<\/span><b>Allow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s it. The app will still work perfectly, and you will still see ads, but they won&#8217;t be targeted ads based on your activity across other apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_%E2%80%93_Block_Tracking_for_All_iPhone_Apps_at_Once\"><\/span>Method 2 &#8211; Block Tracking for All iPhone Apps at Once<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who want to turn off tracking for all apps at once. Apple gives you a setting that automatically stops app tracking on iPhone for every app. This is the fastest and surest way to protect your privacy. Here\u2019s how to disable app tracking for all iPhone apps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the \u201c<\/span><b>Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d app on your iPhone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scroll down and tap \u201c<\/span><b>Privacy &amp; Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select \u201c<\/span><b>Tracking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d located at the top of the list.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will now see a switch labeled &#8220;<\/span><b>Allow Apps to Request to Track<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toggle the switch to \u201c<\/span><b>OFF<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d Ensure that it\u2019s grey and not green.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you enable this setting, two important things take place:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apps can no longer even ask you for permission to track because the request pop-up never reappears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apps that you previously allowed to track you will have that permission automatically revoked.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to industry data, roughly 65% of iPhone users choose to block tracking when given the choice. This demonstrates a widespread desire for privacy. This single toggle is the most effective action you can take.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_%E2%80%93_Stop_Tracking_in_Apps_You_Already_Downloaded\"><\/span>Method 3 &#8211; Stop Tracking in Apps You Already Downloaded<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have some apps downloaded and didn\u2019t turn off tracking requests for them, that&#8217;s okay. You can still manually review and change tracking permissions at any time for apps you&#8217;ve already downloaded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple keeps a full list of apps that have requested tracking in the past with their current permission status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, here\u2019s how to manage tracking on a per-app basis:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the \u201c<\/span><b>Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap \u201c<\/span><b>Privacy &amp; Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select \u201c<\/span><b>Tracking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review the list of apps that asked you for tracking permission in the present and past.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toggle off the switch next to any app you do not want tracking you. That\u2019s all.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once saved, the changes take effect immediately. You don&#8217;t have to restart your phone or close the apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t see a particular app listed, it means the app has never requested tracking permission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_Still_See_Ads_if_I_Block_Tracking\"><\/span>Will I Still See Ads if I Block Tracking?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you will. Ads will not disappear completely across your iPhone. They will simply stop being personalized or targeted to you if you have fully disabled tracking across all your apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll see generic ads instead of &#8220;extremely specific and targeted&#8221; ones based on your browsing history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Blocking_App_Tracking_Also_Block_Location_Tracking\"><\/span>Does Blocking App Tracking Also Block Location Tracking?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it doesn\u2019t, and don\u2019t confuse the two. App tracking and location tracking are completely separate controls in iOS. When you stop app tracking, it does not automatically stop apps from accessing your location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location tracking is controlled separately under \u201c<strong>Settings<\/strong>\u201d &gt; \u201c<strong>Privacy &amp; Security<\/strong>\u201d &gt; \u201c<\/span><b>Location Services<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Many apps do not need to know exactly where you are; weather apps, restaurant finders, and maps are obvious exceptions. However, apps like a calculator or note-taking app have zero reason to access your location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here you can review which apps have access to your location and change their permission level to options like &#8220;<\/span><b>Never<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,&#8221; &#8220;<\/span><b>While Using the App<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,&#8221; or &#8220;<\/span><b>Always<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also turn off &#8220;Precise Location&#8221; for any app to share only an approximate location instead of your exact address, further protecting your privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_iPhone_Privacy_Controls_to_Tweak\"><\/span>Other iPhone Privacy Controls to Tweak<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from stopping app tracking on iPhone, there are other privacy controls that you should consider looking into:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Turn_Off_Apples_Own_Personalized_Ads\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Turn Off Apple&#8217;s Own Personalized Ads<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who aren\u2019t aware, Apple has its own ad system that appears in the App Store, Apple News, and Stocks.

Advertisers and apps use it to track activity and deliver targeted ads. Blocking tracking essentially denies apps access to your IDFA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_apps_still_track_me_if_I_disable_%E2%80%9CAllow_Apps_to_Request_to_Track%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Can apps still track me if I disable &#8220;Allow Apps to Request to Track&#8221;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tracking setting specifically blocks access to Apple&#8217;s advertising identifier. However, apps could still use other methods to track you within their own app. This is to analyze your behavior within that specific app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The setting prevents other apps from tracking you across apps, but it does not prevent an app from collecting data about how you use that specific app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_an_app_asks_me_to_allow_tracking_to_use_a_specific_feature\"><\/span>What if an app asks me to allow tracking to use a specific feature?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some apps might claim or trick you into allowing tracking for certain features to work. However, in most cases, this is not true. The app can still function without tracking you. For this, try tapping &#8220;<strong>Ask App Not to Track<\/strong>&#8221; first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a feature genuinely doesn\u2019t work, you can always go back into \u201c<\/span><b>Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d &gt; \u201c<\/span><b>Privacy &amp; Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d &gt; \u201c<\/span><b>Tracking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d and re-enable permission for that specific app only.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_cant_I_turn_on_the_%E2%80%9CAllow_Apps_to_Request_to_Track%E2%80%9D_setting\"><\/span>Why can&#8217;t I turn on the &#8220;Allow Apps to Request to Track&#8221; setting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not be able to due to a few reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Apple Account may be managed by a school or business that imposes restrictions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your device has a configuration profile that limits tracking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Account was created recently, for instance, in the last 3 days.
