The other possibility is that you have a company email account on your phone, and your IT administrator has set a policy that requires ad tracking to be disabled.
Personally, I would never use any app that wants to display ads that track me.

How would that company email account work here? That sounds like something that's on company phones or whatever instead of your own personal phone.

Sep 9, 2016 6:51 PM in response to iKoolmooseby Lawrence Finch,If you have a company Microsoft Exchange email account on your phone your company can install a security profile that can change any security setting on the phone. This is true whether it is a company phone or your personal phone. Among the controls the Exchange administrator has is the ability to require backup encryption, to erase the phone remotely, to require you to have a strong passcode, and to change your passcode periodically, block certain websites, disable file transfers - there are quite a few options. To see if your phone has such a profile go to Settings/General/Device Management.

Sep 9, 2016 6:55 PM in response to Lawrence Finchby iKoolmoose,All that's showing is the iOS Beta Software Profile I downloaded to update my phone to iOS 10 beta. Do you think maybe that's what's preventing me from changing it?
