In this weeks episode of Digital. by AttentionMedia we are discussing the critical changes to apples IOS 14 update you need to know about...

• Over the past 12 months Apple has been driving the PRIVACY message really hard.
• This is coming off the back of Cambridge Analytica
• Facebook has come out very vocally in regards to the impacts this will have on SME advertisers in particular

What is the update? iOS 14

• it will allow users to share your approximate location with apps, instead of your precise location.

• will also get a camera and microphone recording indicator in the status bar. It’s a similar feature to the camera light that comes with Macs and MacBooks. The recording indicator will sit in the top bar of your iPhone’s display when your front or rear camera is in use, or if a microphone is active.

• users will be asked if they want to be tracked by the app. That’s a major change that will likely have a ripple effect: By allowing users to reject tracking, it’ll reduce the amount of data that’s collected, preserving user privacy.

What Facebook is saying (refer to online articles

What happened in the past
