What you need to know about Apple’s new tracking update
If you have an iPhone or iPad and your software is up to date, you may have seen a prompt pop up in Instagram, Facebook or other apps. It asks if you want to allow the apps to track you, and it’s a little confusing. On today’s show, we’ll try and help a listener clear it up. Plus, immersive travel, jobs numbers and Kai Ryssdal’s “Top Gun” days.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Apple releases privacy update that clamps down on data tracking” from “Marketplace Morning Report”
- “Disney announces Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel will open in 2022, shows off ‘real’ lightsaber” from The Points Guy
- “The Amazing Ways VR And AR Are Transforming The Travel Industry” from Forbes
- “Americans set another pandemic-era record for air travel” from the Associated Press
- “Top Gun: Maverick”
- Molly Wood’s “Awesome Key Changes” playlist on Spotify
