With the arrival of iOS 14.5, Apple has redefined the rules for using user data on its system. All applications must be authorized by users to collect and use this information.
It was not a peaceful process and now another has finally been added. Twitter has a new update where it asks users for permission to collect and process user data. The goals are not the best, but they are very clear.
Apple's decision to limit access to user data has not been well received by large companies with apps on iOS. They used to have all the information they wanted, which changed dramatically.
All the opposition has come from the side of Facebook, but there are many others who would undoubtedly prefer to see a change of model. The free access gave a lot of information to be able to profile users, something that has now fallen directly to the ground.
Version 8.65 of the Twitter app for iOS, which is already in the App Store, now you have the news that everyone was waiting for. It is from this new version that users are invited to authorize data collection on iOS.
In the message presented, Twitter explains, in its own way, the reasons for this data collection. You want to guarantee users a better user experience, presenting them with relevant ads, adapted to the information they consume.
As this Twitter problem progresses, users are directed to the area where they can allow or deny access to data collection. Only after passing through here do they have access to Twitter and all the information published on this social network.
This is another application that follows the path that Apple now forces programmers to do. They can only collect and process data with the express permission of these users, who can also change the settings at any time and thus regain the anonymity always desired.
