Disable ad tracking on iPhone / iPad: Here's how
You can deactivate ad tracking on iPhone and iPad so that you do not see personalized advertising. In addition, no data about your usage behavior is sent to Apple. You can read how to do this in this practical tip.
iPhone & iPad: Turn off ad tracking
- Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
- Select the category "Data protection" here.
- Scroll down and choose "Advertising" at the bottom.
- Toggle the switch next to "No Ad Tracking" so it glows green.
iOS 11: Cross-site tracking for more data protection
- In the beta version of iOS 11, an option for the so-called cross-site tracking has appeared for the first time. As a result, information for advertising ads should not be passed on from website to website.
- However, it is currently still unclear whether this really always works. The function is currently called "Try to Prevent Cross-Site Tracking", so there is no guarantee of success.
- You can currently only find the function in the beta version of iOS 11. In the "Settings" app you will find it in the "Safari" category.
