If you recall, Apple is releasing the App Tracking Transparency privacy feature that requires developers to ask users for permission to code Identification for advertisers’ capture of their devices with an upcoming iOS upgrade.

With this code, advertisers can track users’ activity across apps and websites so they can serve targeted ads. Apple was originally supposed to start enforcing the new policy on the debut of iOS 14 but they decided to push it back to give developers more time to get their apps compliant.

As you can imagine, not everyone is happy with the implementation – Facebook, for example, warned developers that the feature could reduce app ad revenue, and grabbed privacy changes to full-page newspaper ads, and recently users were asked to opt-in for ad tracking

While Bloomberg’s sources didn’t reveal many details about Google’s efforts, they said the tech giant is unlikely to ask developers to implement a prompt that prompts the user to decide in data tracking as Apple did.
