Apple sets "early spring" rollout for iOS privacy changes

[wraggster]

Apple has indicated that its new advertising tracking restrictions on iOS devices will go into effect nearly a year after they were first unveiled.
The company yesterday said that its new requirement that apps get user permission before tracking their data across other apps or sites will go live in its next beta update (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/01/data-privacy-day-at-apple-improving-transparency-and-empowering-users/), with a broad rollout for iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and tvOS 14 in the early spring.
Apple said that the average app contains six different data trackers in it, often embedded in the SDKs and APIs that developers use to make the apps in the first palce.

Do so many people worry about it?

I'm not really worried about it because I don't have any critical data on this account. But other people might have it and not improving privacy protection looks a little questionable. Since it's crucial now, in the age of information technology. A friend of mine, who uses the site, asked the developers at cubycode.com (https://www.cubycode.com), who develop apps for iOS, to make an app that will delete all data after he is not active for one day. In this case, they will not be able to use his private information for any purpose. It would, of course, be better if it was possible to put a timer after which all the data would be deleted.
