ATT (App Tracking Transparency) to increase user privacy
ATT is a cornerstone for Facebook and other big players in the online advertising market. In short, services like Facebook. Twitter, Instagram, etc., collected information about users' preferences through applications and websites. This data collected on the basis of an identifier for each user (IDFA) "Identifier for Advertising" could be used to deliver personalized ads to the user. For example, if you access an article about "evening dresses" on Facebook, you will still receive advertisements for "evening dresses" on several applications. Google works the same way. If you search for a product or service on Google. Ads on that product / service will also appear on YouTube and other sites that are on Google's advertising network.
ATT introduced by Apple, will make every application that uses this system for tracking user behavior to provide more transparency. For example, the application Facebook will ask users if they allow tracking their activity on other applications / websites of other companies.
"Allow Facebook to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"
