"Later on, we'll keep giving better approaches to improve on control for clients and mechanize more work for designers," it added.
On new security controls in iOS 14.5, Apple has said that the App Tracking Transparency requires applications to get the client's consent prior to following their information across applications or sites possessed by different organizations for promoting, or imparting their information to information agents.
