Overview of iOS 17 and the Concerns About Tracking and Attribution

iOS 17 is causing worries and concerns about tracking and attribution, particularly on Facebook and Google. Apple is blocking click IDs in certain applications like Messenger and Mail, which can affect tracking capabilities. In addition, the enhanced privacy setting on Safari can strip click IDs as well. This can lead to less precise identification of users for targeted advertising. To work around this issue, marketers can use redirect links like Bitly in their emails and SMS campaigns. Third-party attribution software like Wicked Reports can also provide a solution for accurate tracking and reporting.
