Facebook removes Apple's blue tick page verification as the feud between the tech giants over upcoming iPhone privacy changes continues to escalate

Facebook appears to have removed a blue tick verification from Apple's social media page.

The Mark Zuckerberg-founded company usually gives giant businesses an organizations blue ticks to symbolize their authenticity.

Apple's main rivals, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Samsung, all have been given blue tick verification by Facebook.

It comes amid a feud between Facebook and Twitter over privacy.

At the crux of the issue is changes to Apple's iOS 14 that will require users to give permission in order for apps to track them for advertising purposes.

The changes will restrict companies, including Facebook, from gathering data on users to provide personalized ads.


Media consultant Matt Navarra noticed the blue tick had vanished from Apple's page on Facebook Tuesday morning - a week after the Mark Zuckerberg-founded site slammed the iPhone maker over its upcoming privacy changes.

'Facebook has removed Apple’s blue tick Page verification,' Navarra wrote.

On Facebook, almost all big brands and organizations are given a blue tick on their official social media pages to symbolize their authenticity.

Apple's main rivals, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and Samsung have all been given such ticks by Facebook.

It is unclear exactly when Facebook decided to delete Apple's blue tick. DailyMail.com has reached out to the company for comment.

Apple still has a blue tick verification on Instagram - which is owned by Facebook.

Silicon Valley's latest war over privacy erupted last week. At the crux of the issue is changes to Apple's iOS 14.4, which will go live next year and require users to give permission in order for apps to track them for advertising purposes.

No mind them, but I'm not sure facebook can win this fight

it will also affect a lot of small businesses

Apple way to go!
Facebook ads is a menace sometimes.

Facebook need data for targeted advertising . Facebook's revenue is mostly from ads and selling data to third party , any data they can find .

These are the kind of wars we need not Bandits and Boko Haram.

Useless app...na why Dumbo's full there...Rocking my iPhone 50 pro max legbegbe.

Especially when you have an appetite for pizza.

Dominos will message you within 10 minutes of thinking about pizza.

Fear who nor fear Facebook.

Better, fuulish apple.

I am supporting this fight with the dog I wanted to slaughter for Christmas that escaped very early this morning...

Facebook may fall to ruins in the end.
Instagram now lacks direction, nothing new.

Sponsored ads even with all the tweaking, does not convert most of the time.
On top of it, they censor almost everything.

The end is near

By this time next year

Europe will take over all big techs in the world

The rise of Europe

The fall of America

All starting next year

Watch out !!!

This concerns Facebook users. I'm yet to graduate to that level.

Bbh

I type bet on Facebook and Facebook starts feeding me with thousands of betting ads... Same thing with Google.

If I tried advertising with them they'll restrict my ad account, but yet I'm seeing scammers ads running daily.

Their fight no change price of onions for Market, so e no concern me

I read about the iPhone ios upgrade on Twitter few days ago. I think it's a good step in the right direction.

Zuckerberg needs to buckle up, his old tricks is coming to an end.

Whoever said technology will replace paper has obviously never tried to wipe their butt with an iPad

War for subtle access to users data.

The way most apps and softwares are programmed, getting access to users data might be unavoidable.

Its left to the owners to decide whether or not to access this data.
A case of a dog left alone in a room with bones.

Apple is not Facebook's mate o. Facebook should calm down.

Who will win the fight
Like for Facebook, share for apple

ok
