How to make apps not even ask us for permission to track us
The issue of tracking our activity, both within applications and on the internet, has some nuances to take into account. Legally all applications are obliged to ask us for permission to do so, but the interpretation of the rule gives cases where it is sought that we accept without further ado. In view of this situation, Apple has implemented a new function where it will be the operating system itself that will take care of clearly asking us for permission.
Once we grant or deny permission, the system saves this preference and acts accordingly. In iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 we can review all the permissions by following these steps:
- We open the Settingsapp on our iPhone or iPad.
- We enter Privacy.
- We touch on Tracking.
Here we see a list of all the apps that have asked us for permission to track us. We can activate or deactivate the permission to any application. Also, if we deactivate Allow apps to request to track me , no app can even ask us for permission to track us at any time.
