Tracking on iOS 14.5.1

Hello, I have a problem with the tracking menu. It doesn't work. The latest version of iOS is installed. I tried to reboot my iPhone, but it didn't help me. How can I solve this problem?


iPhone 11, iOS 14

In some circumstances, the “Allow Apps to Request to Track” setting is disabled, including: 

  • For users with child accounts or under age 18 by birth year, signed in with their Apple ID*
  • If your Apple ID is managed by an educational institution or uses a configuration profile that limits tracking
  • If your Apple ID was created in the last 3 days

In these cases, all apps that request to track are denied permission by default and do not receive the IDFA. If the status of your account or device changes, and you subsequently choose to enable “Allow Apps to Ask to Track,” then the app's next request to track will display the permission prompt to you.
