Google will add privacy information to iOS apps as soon as this week

On Wednesday, Google announced that it would add privacy information to its iOS apps as soon as this week, denying rumors that it was boycotting Apple's new privacy policy.

On December 4 last year, Apple published an article stating that starting from December 8, developers will need to submit the app's privacy label information when submitting new apps and app updates. The information will include what user data the app will collect and how it will use the data, and will be displayed in the App Store.

It is reported that Google has not updated its iOS apps for nearly a month since December 8, and the last update was on December 7, including about 15 major apps such as Google Drive, YouTube, Google Docs, Google Sheets, YouTube Music, Google Duo, Google Authenticator, etc. At the same time, the report pointed out that Google's slowdown in releasing iOS app updates may be because it is not yet ready to be transparent about the data it collects from users.

In fact, during this period, Google Slides and Socratic were updated on the 14th and 15th respectively, and provided privacy labels but no privacy reports.

Additionally, Facebook has issued a statement criticizing the policy, claiming that the move will hurt small businesses and that the changes will limit the ability of companies like Facebook to collect data on mobile users and target ads to them.

Apple responded by saying users should have control and transparency, adding that users should know when their data is being collected and shared with other apps and websites.
