How do you “catch” them? The ID is sent from the app and not in plaintext.
I imagine with the usual review process
The review process can’t tell the contents of the data being sent back.

#182Even if you opt out, then often opt you in again after iOS updates, so you need to check the setting regularly.
Why the downvote? I had enabled limit ad tracking and at least when I updated to iOS 13, limit ad tracking was suddenly turned off.

I strongly disagree. The intention may have been to avoid abrupt power downs but their implementation also made sure people upgraded their devices rather than buy a new battery because most people would never be able to imagine that a device could be slow because of a bad battery. This, IMO, was a dark pattern. A sudden power down would be clear indicator that something is wrong with the device while a gradual slow d…
Ok, you have a phone that got slower, but works. And you got phone which just switches off randomly. Which one are you more likely to replace sooner?
> you have a phone that got slower, but works.
I would assume that like most Android phones and (2000s) windows laptops the phone is just old because of age and I need to buy a new one to get faster one.
> And you got phone which just switches off randomly.
I would assume that something is wrong with the phone and would get it looked into at-least once to know what the issue is. Apple would (presumably[1]) tell me its just the battery which needs to change nothing else and I would do just that.
[1] I have read articles where it is mentioned that even geniuses were unaware of the throttling feature.

You need to have at least 2 apps installed from Google for it to show up.
I installed the Youtube and Google Home apps. However, still i see no "Google LLC" in "Settings > General > iPhone Storage". (i do see Youtube and Google Home. But after deleting them and reinstalling Youtube i am automatically logged in again.)
If you go to Settings > Passwords and Accounts, are you signed into a Google account there?

No... only iCloud and my Mail account (strato.de).
I just noticed something else though: when i drag down from the home screen and enter "google" in the search bar, the result list displays a "Settings" item named "Google Home" with the gray ios-settings icon next to it. If i click it to open it, the settings app opens but it doesn't show me anything specific, just the main setting screen.
Note that Google Home is not installed on any of my devices (i removed them a long time ago after ditching the Chromecast).

This is not available (at least not at that, or other obvious settings areas) on a huge number of Android devices. Knowing where and when this was added to Android would be helpful.
This is actually really interesting to me. That versions would be so different. I assumed you tried the other paths that other users noted? What phone are you using? Android version?
5.0.2.
A Samsung device.
Obsolute when new, no OS update ever available.
I am less than pleased.

Yes, Librem 5 is our hope. Also, Pinephone.
Yeah, but why can't anyone make sane size mobiles nowadays? There's literally nothing less than 5 inches on the market. I would love something like the SEX here: https://i.imgur.com/OKZiWrN.png Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20936147
At least in case of Librem 5 there was no choice: the hardware working with free software is rare, which restricts the choice of SoC and the modules.

A likely-good-enough fix would be for Apple to first make extremely clear that this is not allowed, then catch one ad framework/library provider violating the rule and ban every single app/publisher using it to ensure the rule is actually taken seriously.
