How To Remove Ad Tracking From Iphone by Omokowa(m): 9:21pm On May 31, 2019
An earlier article has demonstrated the way in which data from iPhone is been used up without the owner’s consent. Many users of iPhone, smartphones, and other computing devices have seen different ads showing on their gadgets without knowing what could be done about it. In this article, I am going to show you how to remove ad tracking from your iPhone.

Though Apple has assured us that our iPhone is secured but we have seen the irony of this when iPhones became vulnerable to ads trackers and hackers. This shows that our gadgets are prone to attack anytime as long as we present our personal information to 3rd party apps. What then should we do? It has been shown that we can only minimize the rate at which our data is been consumed. We are going to learn how to remove ad tracking from devices especially iPhone.


Turn On Limit Ad Tracking:

You may not be able to erase the entire ads from popping out but you can limit it appearances by not showing completely your profile. Doing this can only limit the inflow of ads and limit you only to the ones that are related to your search info. Below are the steps to go about this in order to remove ad tracking form your iPhone.

How to remove ad tracking from your iPhone

Go to Settings
Select “Privacy”
Select “Advertising” (at the bottom of the Settings screen)
Turn on “Limit Ad Tracking”
Close Down Safari:
In case you are using the Safari browser on your iPhone, there are several things you can do to limit these intruders into prying at your personal info and also using your data.

How to remove ad tracking from your iPhone
Go to “Settings”
Select “Safari,” and scroll down to the “Privacy & Security” section
Turn on “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” (which means advertisers and other third-party content providers can’t track you from one site to another)
Turn on “Block All Cookies.” The cookies collected by various websites can contain a great deal of information about how you use the site, what info you put into it, etc. By blocking cookies, you prevent that data from being collected.
However, you will probably make things very inconvenient for yourself. Your visits to sites will not be recorded, so, for example, you may lose your bookmarked sites. Some sites will even refuse entry if you don’t allow them to collect cookies. It’s your choice to make.


Turn Off Background App Refresh:

According to Apple, having Background App Refresh turned on is to allow suspended apps (apps that aren’t currently active) to “check for updates and new content.” According to Disconnect, the privacy app company that Geoffrey Fowler cites in his article also allow apps to collect marketable tracking data and transmit that data even when you’re not using the app. But, iPhones came with Background App Refresh turned on and it’s not really hard to turn off.
