A new report claims that popular iPhone apps are being used by advertisers to get your location details, despite Apple’s App Tracking Transparency — and even without the app developers’ knowledge.
Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency (ATT) with iOS 14 back in 2020, and was so effective at blocking advertisers from harvesting and then selling user data, that it reportedly made Facebook’s revenue drop by $12.8 billion in a year. However, a new report claims that advertisers have found other ways to track and monetise user data.
