There are two different, but related settings for the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).
- The first is "Limit Ad Tracking" which was introduced in iOS 10.
This setting became "Allow Apps to Request to Track" with iOS 14.5.- Then there is the "App Tracking Trasparency" prompt that was added when "Allow Apps to Request to Track" is enabled (default setting).
This is the change that has caused a lot of reactions.
I have always had “limit ad tracking” on but it was mentioned as only partially effective at the time, I can only hope that the present iteration is better. As I said, an awful lot of fuss about something most people would already have switched on ! and I’ll bet all the ruckus has caused people who have previously not taken any notice to turn the thing off !
