“#How to block app<\/a>s from tracking you in iOS 14.5<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Welcome to\u00a0TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Apple rolled out the iOS 14.5 update last night, and the new App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature is probably one of the most-talked-about privacy updates for the iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n

This new feature will force apps to ask for your permission if they want to track your data and use it to serve you targeted advertisements. To use it, first, you\u2019ll need to update your phone to iOS 14.5 via Settings > General<\/a> > Software update<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To turn on apps\u2019 requests for permission to track you<\/span>, head to Settings > Privacy > Tracking.\u00a0<\/em>Turning the \u201cAllow Apps to Request to Track\u201d will enable popups like the one shown below in the image.<\/p>\n

If you have given access to an app to track you by mistake, you can revoke the permission in the tracking menu. Turningthe \u201cAllow Apps to Request to Track\u201d setting off means<\/span> that apps won\u2019t be able to track you by default, and won\u2019t get access to your device\u2019s unique Advertising Identifier (IDFA).<\/p>\n

Now, Apple is clear about what tracking means and what it doesn\u2019t mean. Even if you turn off this tracking feature, an app maker could use your data for targeted ads if the data doesn\u2019t leave your device. Plus, developers can share your data with third-party service providers just for fraud detection.<\/p>\n

You can watch Apple\u2019s new video to learn more about this feature.<\/p>\n
