He referenced how much money Google makes for Apple as the default search engine on the Safari browser. Wehner suggested that Apple's changes aren't having the same impact on search as they are on other types of apps. She also said that measuring whether those conversions occur is becoming more difficult.Ī day before Facebook's results, Alphabet blew past estimates with its fourth-quarter numbers, and cited strength in e-commerce ads, an area where Facebook saw weakness. Sandberg said the changes are diminishing the accuracy of Facebook's ads, driving up prices based on an outcome like a sale or download. It's a theme Facebook has hit repeatedly in its attacks on Apple.
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's operating chief, said on Wednesday that ATT would hurt small businesses that rely on digital advertising to grow and are much more dependent than larger companies on personalized ads. The next day, Apple CEO Tim Cook used Facebook's app in a tweet as an example of how the feature works. In December 2020, Facebook ran a marketing campaign including full-page ads in major newspapers blasting the feature and saying that the change was about "profit, not privacy." Online advertising companies have voiced their displeasure with the feature since it was first announced in June 2020, but Facebook has been the loudest in its criticism.
IPhone apps with targeted advertising can instead use SKAdNetwork, an Apple tool built as an alternative, which Apple says is more private. The privacy feature disrupts the behind-the-scenes mechanics of many mobile ads, especially those that confirm whether a purchase or download was made. If the user says no, the app developer can no longer access the IDFA, a device ID that's used to target and measure the effectiveness of online ads.Ī study from ad measurement firm AppsFlyer in October suggested that 62% of iPhone users were choosing to opt-out of sharing their IDFA. ATT consists of popups that ask users whether they want to be tracked when opening up an app.
