95% of US Users Reject App Tracking
According to two-week statistical reports from Flurry, iPhone and iPad users are actively denying almost all third-party apps permission to track them. The study states that only 11% of iPhone users worldwide have allowed apps to track their data. In the United States, this number is even lower—just 4%.
Flurry Analytics data shows that users are refusing tracking much more often than surveys conducted before the release of iOS 14.5 had predicted. One such survey indicated that just under 40% of users would agree to tracking when prompted, not the mere 4% actually observed.
Not everyone is happy with the new requirements. Previously, developers at FacebookFacebook launched an official Tor mirror in 2014, becoming the first major tech company to provide direct access through onion routing. The mirror allows users to bypass censorship, secure their connections, and avoid phishing risks while using the platform. This step also underscored Facebook’s recognition of free expression and inspired other outlets like the BBC and ProPublica to create their own Tor versions. More and Instagram used scare tactics, hinting that users might lose free access to social networks if they did not grant permission for data collection.
