Apple is now enforcing a new setup for the App Store for all users, and it is centering on the appearance of search ads that will now see on the platform despite not using it to find different games or applications. The new feature from Apple is in support of app developers who wants to market their product by appearing via search ads for better discovery.
Users may see more search ads on the Apple App Store platform, and it would appear like what Google Play Store offers, but does it necessarily affect data?

Apple will debut the App Store search ads for all to experience soon, and it will center on banner ads that will appear atop when looking for a specific app, and it may be both related and unrelated to one's query.
Search ads appear when one is usually typing on the search bar, and they will include several related apps or results from previously searched information from the platform.
However, 9to5 Mac said that despite not using the search bar to download apps, users will still get search ads to appear once the feature is available for all.
Moreover, search ads are also coming to the "Today" homepage of the App Store, and it is not exclusive to the search tab of the platform only.

Why is Apple Allowing Search Ads for Users?
Apple's decision to allow search ads on the public's App Store use is to promote more products from certain developers who apply their apps to the company's program. It will center on more discovery and relevance for a developer's app which they aim to bring to the public, helping them to generate more users and funds for getting more downloads and interaction with their product.
Search Ads in the Tech Industry
Apple delivered the initial search ads feature in early 2021, and by October of last year, it surged from 17 percent to 58 percent of all iPhone app downloads from users and customers. It only shows that the feature is effective for all iPhone users, something that Apple did to help developers get a spotlight on the platform.
Search ads are a massive addition to the tech industry now, especially as those who ask to get their apps or products featured will get a highlight despite having little relevance to the searched topic.
The Apple Maps app will also include search ads on its platform where different establishments and physical businesses get a highlight when people are navigating the streets with the app. Apple's search ads will center on partner companies and those who want to join in on the feature that will help with better discovery for their offers to the public.
Apple is all about privacy and information, something that it introduced in 2021 as a policy for all, both the customers and developers for the platform for all to use. The App Store is getting a new significant update that will help developers have their products more visible to users, and it will appear despite not having any data or information that is left whenever people use the search.
