Apple’s two new iPhone and iPad privacy protections caused quite an uproar earlier this year. Facebook contested them fiercely, starting a massive ad campaign against Apple. The two privacy features are the app privacy labels and the App Tracking Transparency (ATT). The former informs users on the kind of data apps collect. ATT, meanwhile, forces developers to ask for permission to track users. Google is only ready to match the privacy labels feature when it comes to Android privacy. It might be a while until Google brings anti-tracking features to its mobile operating system. But there’s already a tool that might help you prevent Android apps from tracking you. That’s DuckDuckGo, which has a new feature now available in beta. And if it works, the App Tracking Protection (ATP) might be even better than Apple’s ATT.
