The tracking is off by default. You have to opt in. Right now, at least in the US, there are no apps to use for tracking. Even if there were, you have to install them and turn on the tracking. So no one needs to worry about being tracked without their consent.

Everyone: By now, we are all in knowledgable about the new iOS tracking app which is incorporated into the newest download of the iOS for the iPhone, and other programs for android and others. I use the iPhone, and as I have heard different people expressed concerns about this new tracking procedure they have put in the iOS package I am very concerned. I have not as yet downloaded the new iOS I believe it’s 13.5 as I do not want the tracking app to be activated and seek out everybody on my list or my phone list. It’s one thing to have your self tracked but it’s another thing when your friends phone numbers and addresses on your phone are being tracked without their consent. Also, I do not want to be tracked either. What I am asking if anybody knows is there a way to either delete or shut the tracking set up off when you download the iOS. If there is a way to disable the tracking or rather contract tracking app, I would consider downloading the new iOS. However if there is not a way to disable it permanently, then I will not be Downloading any more iOS apps which have the contact tracking feature. Any help or advice, or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
