iOS 14.4 to have anti-tracking feature
Cult of Mac reported that the latest iOS 14.4 could soon have the controversial anti-tracking feature. iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 was said to be having the option to block third-party applications from tracking iPhone and iPad users.
Right now, those who are testing the earlier beta versions of the device systems said that they force their iPhone applications to provide information if they can track users.
The upcoming anti-tracking feature for iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 was previously teased by Apple at its 2020 developers event. But, Facebook and other apps that rely on tracking users for their advertisements prevented Apple from releasing the feature.
Right now, it seems like the iPhone giant manufacturer is releasing the security feature earlier than expected.
