Are you concerned about apps tracking you on your iPhone or iPad? If yes, then this guide will help you. Here you will learn how you can stop apps from tracking you. In addition to this, we have also shared how you can prevent apps from asking if they can track you the first time you launch them.
Apps are known to track multiple types of data. This includes your contact information, location, search history, device ID, user ID, and more. However, you can prevent apps from tracking this information easily by following a few simple steps that we have outlined below.
Turn off tracking by apps
- Unlock your iPhone and open Settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security.
- Here, tap on the Tracking option.
- On the next page, you will find the toggle for ‘Allow Apps to Request to Track‘. Turn it off.
- Alternatively, you can go over the list of apps that are currently allowed to track you on this page and individually prevent certain apps from tracking you.
Even after turning off these features, some apps will still collect limited data from you to improve their functionality. However, they still won’t be able to track you across other apps or websites that you visit on your iPhone.
That’s it, this is how you can prevent apps from tracking you on your iPhone or iPad.
