Apple's major privacy change is here. What you need to know
CNN
Apple is rolling out a major privacy feature on Monday that will allow iOS users to decide how they want their personal data handled -- a move that has worried some companies, including Facebook.
iOS users must now give explicit permission for apps to track their behavior and sell their personal data, such as age, location, spending habits and health information, to advertisers. While many apps have allowed people to manage or opt-out of this for years, it's typically buried deep in user settings and wordy privacy policies. The new App Tracking Transparency feature, now available as an iOS 14.5 software update, will usher in a wave of privacy awareness, especially as permission requests start coming in from apps people never thought were tracking them.More Related News
