With iOS 14.5,TV Movie Archives Apple's latest update, you can stop apps from tracking you.

The new feature is called App Tracking Transparency (ATT), and it requires developers to ask for permission before tracking your data across other companies' apps and websites.

If you've ever been creeped out by a Facebook ad for a product you viewed on another app or web browser, then this feature is probably welcome.

If you had Limit Ad Tracking (LAT) turned off prior to the update, then the new feature should be enabled by default when you update to Apple's latest operating system. But if it's not, here's how to turn App Tracking Transparency on in a just a few steps.

If it doesn't list your current software version as iOS 14.5, then go to Settings > General > Software Update and tapDownload.

2) Toggle on App Tracking Transparency

But if you don't want to be asked for permission and don't want anyapps to track your data, you can also turn the feature off completely. That way, each app will automatically know you've requested not to be tracked. You'll still be able to manually control which apps are allowed to track your data individually via Settings.

UPDATE: May 10, 2021, 5:21 p.m. EDT This article was updated to clarify when App Tracking Transparency is automatically enabled.
