Limited data sharing

There is no such setting. Go to Settings/Privacy/Advertising. There is a switch for Limit Ad Tracking, which should be on. But I don’t think that is what Zynga is asking for. If anything they should want that to be off.

You might want to contact Zynga and ask them. Words 2 has never asked me to do that.

But when it comes to sharing, you do know that Zynga’s entire user base was compromised in September, so criminals now have access to your email address, password, username and phone number. If you use any of these factors for other applications or websites you should change the password for those sites as a minimum.

UPDATE: I found it on Zynga’s support site:

It is limit ad tracking that they want disabled. But I have it enabled, so I’m not sure why they are asking for it to be off. If they ever insist that I turn this off I will delete the game.

I just had this same issue. You need to go into your iPhone settings and then go to Privacy > Advertising > Reset Advertising Identifier. I also toggled Limit Ad Tracking on and then off again, but it was already set to off so I don’t know if that made a difference or not. Works now though.

Hello, pearlyq123!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious about limited data sharing. I'd be happy to shed some light on this.

The iPhone has a feature called Low Data Mode, which might be what you're looking for. Take a look at the following support article for more details on how this works, and where it's found:

Use Low Data Mode on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Feel free to post more details if this isn't exactly what you're looking for.

Have a great day!

Go to Settings, click on WI-FI, select your wi-fi, the toggle Low Data Mode

On IPhone Go to setting, click privacy scroll down and click advertising and then click on limited ad tracking. This is how I fixed mine

On iPhone click on setting then click on privacy then click on adverting then click on limited ad tracking

Its in the setting of WWF2. I turned off the sharing info with advertisers and do not sell my personal info and logged out of my WWF2 account. I logged back in and went back into settings mode turned the two back on. It asked me to verify my email and it send an email verification to my personal email account. Once I verified it all works. again.

Found it!! You need to go into the game settings. Click your name and get your profile up then click settings make sure this is on

I am playing words with friends and it’s constantly asking To enable limited data sharing in settings. I tried what you suggested and that doesn’t work. Please advise me how I can get this game to work again. It worked fine up until a couple of days ago.

I still can’t find what is causing this all of a sudden. What you have suggested did not work

I was having the same problem so I just deleted WWF2 then reinstalled..it’s all good now😉

I cannot find anything that works for me! I have even signed out on FB and then in on my email. That made a new acct and it didn’t have any of my coins! I went back and they were there. I’ve tried everything that has been suggested but I can’t figure it out!

The update they did with words is really bad I have tried all the suggestions and still get the same thing on the data sharing issue nothing works I have spent 1hour I’m done they need to correct the issue for us

I just thought I’m mention that turning off “limit data sharing” essentially makes all of the apps you use and all of the websites you visit fodder for advertisers to track what you purchase and what you even look at to consider purchasing. And you are “selling” this data for a few game coins with no intrinsic value. So before doing this you need to think about whether it is worth it to sell your soul for some minor advantage in a game that has no payback other than personal satisfaction. Oh, and all of that information goes to Google and Facebook; Apple doesn’t use it.

How do I turn on limited data sharing?
