(Forbes) Apple just confirmed a stunning new privacy move coming in an iOS 14 update that will be a game-changer for all iPhone users.
It’s been a long time coming. Apple first announced a stunning new privacy feature that would require all apps to ask for explicit permission to track in summer 2020. The feature, dubbed App Tracking Transparency (ATT), was expected to launch when iOS 14 arrived in September last year, but it was delayed after pushback from firms including Facebook.
But now, finally, Apple has confirmed a date for the anti-tracking feature to arrive—or at least a timescale. The iPhone maker chose Data Privacy Day (January 28) to announce that ATT will be coming to an iOS 14 update, in “early spring” 2021.
