It has been over a month since Apple began publishing privacy summaries in all of its app stores across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, with developers now needing to answer a questionnaire as part of submitting an app or update but there has been one big tech giant-sized exception not providing new information for users, Google.
In a blog post on Wednesday, Google said it would supply information to Apple when its apps are updated. As our iOS apps are updated with new features or bug fixes, you ll see updates to our app page listings that include the new App Privacy Details, Google Ads group product manager Christophe Combette wrote.

Apple says it will roll out a new privacy control in the spring to prevent iPhone apps from secretly shadowing people.
The delay in its anticipated rollout aims to placate Facebook and other digital services that depend on such data surveillance to help sell ads.
Although Apple did not provide a specific date, the general timetable disclosed on Thursday means a long-awaited feature known as App Tracking Transparency will be part of an iPhone software update likely to arrive in late March or some point in April.
After delaying the planned September introduction of the safeguard amid a Facebook-led outcry, Apple had previously said it would come out early this year.
