When <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2020/12/14/app-privacy-labels-app-store/">released back in 2020</a>, the labels set a precedent in the industry and were a major first step in raising awareness of privacy-invasive apps. It was now easy for users to compare something like Signal, which collects virtually no data at all, and Facebook Messenger, which gobbles up anything it can use to sell advertising or better its services. The feature set out to help users make informed downloads.</p> <p>However, in recent years, I have seen a growing conversation around whether these entirely self-reported labels located further down on the application’s App Store page still impact the user’s decision before hitting “Get” to install.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p><em>9to5Mac Security Bite is exclusively brought to you by </em><a href="https://mosyle.net/87PQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Mosyle, the only Apple Unified Platform</strong>.</a> <em>Making Apple devices work-ready and enterprise-safe is all we do.
