Hi PH, Did you know that a phone with 35 apps (like the average person has) can experience between 1,000-2,000 tracking attempts every day and contact 70+ different tracking companies? That's why we're excited to share that App Tracking Protection is now open for all Android users. It’s a beta feature in DuckDuckGo for Android that helps block 3rd-party trackers in your apps, even when you’re not using them. You may have heard of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT), a feature for iPhones and iPads that asks users whether they want to allow third-party app tracking or not in each of their apps (with the majority of people choosing “not”). But most smartphone users worldwide actually use Android. So, we’re offering Android users something even more powerful: enable our App Tracking Protection and we'll automatically block all the hidden trackers we can identify as blockable across your apps. If you don't already use DuckDuckGo, give it a download: https://duckduckgo.com/app. We’ve simplified multiple privacy protections like search, browsing, email, and more and built them into a single, all-in-one solution that helps protect you and your personal information. Once downloaded, you can enable App Tracking Protection in the settings menu and start blocking third-party trackers. Thanks! Robin
