Hmm, I’m pretty sure I turned off “Personalized ads” under Privacy -> Apple ads, and now it’s back on. Or did I simply never turn this off before?

Anyway, where is that famous new setting? Nothing seems changed to me under “Privacy”?

Edit: I see iOS is still good at autocorrecting after I press “send”. Absolutely maddening.

It stayed off after the update for me.

It's still off for me, so perhaps you never turned it off?

Privacy -> Tracking

But that was there before, right? I’m pretty sure.

Edit: yeah I’m quite positive it was.

It was, yes. The SDK for App Tracking permissions has been there since 14.0. The change in 14.5 is that using the new APIs (and getting user permission) is now mandatory.
