From now on, apps will no longer pop up requests asking to track you. This means that, by default, you are telling all apps not to profile you for targeted advertising\u2014unless you\u2019ve previously given them permission to do so.<\/p>\n<p>To change which apps can track you for targeted advertising individually, visit Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Tracking and turn off the switches beside any app listed there. It\u2019s important to note that even with this option disabled, you can still be tracked while using the web on your iPhone.
