On May 19, it was reported by foreign media MacRumors that Apple seems to be close to solving a bug. Previously, some iOS 14.5 users could not adjust the switch button setting of “Allow App Request Tracking”, which is used as Apple’s App tracking transparency ( ATT) part of the function is introduced.
In iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5 and tvOS 14.5, ATT requires applications to obtain user consent before tracking your activities on other companies’ applications and websites for targeted advertising.
On iPhone and iPad, users can manage tracking permissions one by one in the “Settings” application under “Privacy” -> “Tracking”, and there is a new “Allow App Request Tracking” switch. By default, this setting is off.
On devices that turn off the “Allow App Request Tracking” setting, all applications that request tracking are rejected by default and cannot access the device’s random advertising identifier, that is, IDFA.
The app also does not allow the use of other information that can identify your device to track your activities, such as your email address, although this policy has not been implemented on a technical level.
Apple said that in a few cases, the setting may be legal “gray”, but a very small number of users still find that even though they meet Apple’s full access standards, they cannot adjust the setting.
Apple’s iOS 14.5.1 official version update on May 3 is expected to solve this problem, but reports of a small number of users unable to control this feature still exist after the update is installed. However, according to the latest feedback from netizens on social media, Apple seems to be solving this problem.
