Apps contacting domains

We appreciate the update!

About App Privacy Report has some great information about this process. "Domains that have been contacted from content could include things like tapping on an article in a social app’s news feed or playing a video that’s embedded in an app." In most cases, you'll find that these are completely safe. However, if you notice a domain that is unusual, and it's associated with an app that you use, you can reach out to the developer to inquire about more information on it using: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

You can also control how much information apps have, along with how they can use that data here: Control access to information in apps on iPhone - Apple Support We hope this helps take control of your data, and ensure that it's being used wisely.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

We hope you have a lovely week!
