Step 1
As with every other iOS function that can be turned on or off, ad tracking can be found in your “Settings” menu. Start by opening Settings, selecting “General,” tapping “About,” and then looking for the “Advertising” tab.
Step 2
Select “Advertising” to open up the screen where ad tracking settings can be changed. Later iOS devices provide multiple options under the Advertising menu, but if you are using iOS 6, you should only see one option: “Limit Ad Tracking.”
Step 3
Toggle the Limit Ad Tracking switch to the “On” position. The function is turned on when the switch has been slid over to the right hand side of the phone. The switch should turn blue and read “On.”
Recap
Some users like targeted advertisements. They figure that if they are going to have to deal with ads on the mobile apps, those ads might as well be for something they might be interested in purchasing. However, if you are someone who considers ad tracking to be an invasion of your virtual privacy, you can use the above steps to shut it down on your iOS 6 device.
