Please correct me if I'm wrong. This privacy change only affects apps on iOS? I only use the facebook.com website. Ad tracking in that context hasn't changed?

  That’s true, but I’d guess that there are a lot of users that exclusively use the iOS app.

    Among my peers where I've observed how they use FB, I think it's an even split. For me, if there's a web site, I skip installing the app. And of course a majority of news and social and commerce web sites now prompt you to install the app.

      Personally when I occasionally use Facebook its via the app so that I am not logged in in by browser. Don't want them spying on everything I do online. Twitter on the other hand I use in the browser as I like to be able to open threads in tabs to come back to.

      Many don’t just prompt you to install an app, they borderline force you. Reddit is guilty of this, as is Instagram and TikTok. Presumably this is because they can gather much more data via a mobile app.

  You can use Safari along with privacy relay enabled to minimize websites’ tracking.
