AT LONG LAST: Apple released its long awaited anti-tracking tool for iPhones on Monday as part of its new operating system update.
The iOS 14.5 update includes Apple's app-tracking Transparency Feature, which will require apps to ask users for permission before tracking them across the web.
“Your information is for sale. You have become the product. That's why iPhone users will now be asked a single simple question — allow apps to track you or not,” a narrator says in a video Apple released Monday along with the launch of the feature.
Apple unveiled the feature over the summer and it was set to be released in September, but it was delayed amid backlash over the tool.
