“#App<\/a>le to crack down on iPhone-user tracking in early spring<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Apple plans to roll out a new privacy control in the early spring to prevent iPhone apps from secretly shadowing people. That puts the feature on course to come out after a more than six-month delay aimed at placating Facebook<\/a> and other digital services that depend on such data surveillance to help sell ads.<\/p>\n

Although Apple didn\u2019t provide a specific date, the general<\/a> timetable disclosed Thursday means the long-awaited safeguard known as\u00a0App Tracking Transparency<\/a>\u00a0will be part of an iPhone software update likely to arrive in late March or some point in April.<\/p>\n

After delaying the planned September introduction of the safeguard amid a Facebook-led outcry, Apple had previously said it would come out early this year. Apple released the latest schedule update as part of Data Privacy Day, which chief executive officer Tim Cook will salute during a speech scheduled Thursday at a technology<\/a> conference in Europe.<\/p>\n

Apple has been holding off to give Facebook and other app makers more time to adjust to a feature that will require iPhone users to give their explicit consent to being tracked. Analysts expect a significant number of users to deny that permission once it requires their assent. Currently, iPhone users are frequently tracked by apps they install unless they take the extra step of going into iPhone settings to prevent it.<\/p>\n

Facebook stepped up its attacks\u00a0on Apple\u2019s new privacy control last month in a series<\/a> of full-page ads in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other national news<\/a>papers. That campaign suggested some free digital services will be hobbled if they can\u2019t compile personal information to customize ads. On Wednesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg questioned Apple\u2019s motives with the changes, saying the iPhone maker \u201chas every incentive\u201d to use its own mobile platform to interfere with rivals to its own messaging app.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple may say that they are doing this to help people, but the moves clearly track their competitive interests,\u201d Zuckerberg said.<\/p>\n

Google, which also relies on personal data to power the internet\u2019s biggest ad network, hasn\u2019t joined Facebook in its criticism of Apple\u2019s forthcoming controls on tracking. Google profits from being the default search engine on the iPhone, a prized position for which it pays Apple an estimated $9 billion to $12 billion annually.<\/p>\n

But Google\u00a0warned in a Wednesday blog post\u00a0<\/a>that Apple\u2019s new controls will have a significant impact on the iPhone ad revenue of other apps in its digital network. Google said a \u201chandful\u201d of its own iPhone apps will be affected by the new requirement, but plans to make changes to them so they won\u2019t be affected by Apple\u2019s new controls. It did not identify which apps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain committed to preserving a vibrant and open app ecosystem where people can access a broad range of ad-supported content with confidence that their privacy and choices are respected,\u201d wrote Christophe Combette, group product manager for Google Ads.<\/p>\n

Apple also released\u00a0an 11-page report<\/a>\u00a0to illustrate how much apps can learn about their users in daily life.\n <\/div>\n
