Change this iPhone settings so ads stop FOLLOWING you across the web

A SIMPLE change to your iPhone settings for ads to stop tracking you across the web.

This feature, which comes with the iOS 14.5 update, can help with online security by giving you the option to turn off ad tracking in the apps you use.

The App Tracking Transparency feature allows you to control which apps can track you.

When you download and open a new app, you’ll get a message asking if you’d like the app to track your activity on other companies’ apps and websites.

You’ll also see information about what the app will track.

Now, tap Ask Do Not Track App to block that activity or Allow.

Alternatively, to opt out of app tracking across all apps, download it by going to Settings then Privacy then Tracking.

Then turn off Allow apps to request tracking.

The result is that any app that tries to request permission will automatically block the request and be notified that you’ve requested not to be tracked.

All apps will then be blocked from accessing your device information used for advertising, according to Apple.

For apps that have been downloaded and may have tracking permissions set up, you can still turn them on or off.

This is done by going to Settings, tapping an app, then tapping to turn off Allow Tracking.

Alternatively, go to Settings then Privacy then Tracking and tap to enable or disable each app in the list.
