What you need to know
Facebook and Instagram are desperate for users to give them access to data and are threatening to charge if they say no.
As of iOS 14.5, apps must ask a user for permission to track them from app to app.
Facebook and Instagram are threatening that users will need to pay for their services. But only if users don't allow the pair to track them from app to app after installing iOS 14.5.
Following the release of iOS 14.5 all apps must ask for permission before they can track a user between apps and websites. That has companies like Facebook worried about their ad revenue, and they're trying every trick in the book to make sure people allow them to track them.
