SKAdNetwork is limited: SKAd is an approach that falls within the boundaries of differential privacy and makes it impossible to infer any individual user’s behavior, while still allowing linking of behavior across different digital properties. With the user ‘opt-in’ rate for tracking across iOS sitting at 45% in India, it is a legitimate concern for marketers. The IDFA prompt (ATT) results in massive opt-out rates, effectively making IDFA unavailable for advertisers. This has been discontinued, and explicit user permission will be required for apps to access IDFA. IDFA becomes obsolete: The IDFA was initially activated by default on Apple devices and provided user-level data to app publishers. A complicated future stands ahead for brands and advertisers owing to massive limitations and challenges in mobile measurement and targeted advertising. On the flip side, Apple’s ATT rollout had a significant impact on advertisers. The Future Is Complicated for Advertisers Now, end users have a choice to allow app developers to access their data and activity for purposes of tracking across apps and websites. Opt-in to tracking across web & app: With iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, and tvOS 14.5, apps must ask for permission before tracking consumers’ activity across other companies’ apps and websites. Each app is required to show a ‘nutrition label’, detailing the types of data collected and shared so that users can make informed usage decisions. There are a couple of implications for users:įull transparency on data practices: With continuous innovation to preserve user privacy, Apple lets users share their data as they wish, in a way that is safe, easy to understand and in their control. This signals a shift in most of the consumers’ mindsets towards privacy. As per a report by Flurry Analytics, only 13% of global iOS users have allowed apps to track them. Apple’s pivot to privacy effectively spells the end of Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and tightens the flow of this user data, giving consumers more control over their data.
From providing rich customer insights and data by tracking individual devices to allowing brands to analyse user behavior, unique device IDs served a critical purpose in creating powerful marketing strategies.
