No, Apple runs its own advertisement platform. This "privacy" PR push is all about forcing developers to advertise with Apple instead of Facebook. What Apple is doing is closing the tab for everyone else while they can look pure as snow because iMessage doesn't need those permissions since Apple already get the data elsewhere in the apple ecosystem. Like opt-out unique advertisement ID on all iPhones, Apple login, iCloud, etc. So iMessage is also bringing in advertisement money, it's just harder to spot.
- ubermonkey 6y agoYeah, it must be, since I never see any ads in Apple apps on my phone. IOW, this doesn't sound like a real reason.
- strulovich 6y agoTry the App Store. Plenty of ads in there.
- ubermonkey 6y ago...for other apps? Not seeing your point.
- Daho0n 6y agoHow do you think they target apps in the Appstore and in search? With Apple Search ads targeting.
- helsinkiandrew 6y agoApple only uses ‘in app’ data for customising ads. What apps you look at in App Store, what news you read in news app etc. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphf60a6a256/ios https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphf60a6a256/io...
- Daho0n 6y agoAnd how can Facebook get the same data without notifying users? They can't. That is the whole point of the "Privacy push". To make others look bad (as they are, but that is beside the point).
