Tell HN: Google Is Deploying Chrome-Like “Ad Privacy Features” on Android

11 pointsby dazldover 1 year ago
This morning, I woke up to a notification on my phone announcing that new &quot;ad privacy features&quot; were now available, similar to the ones added to Chrome recently. I haven&#x27;t seen anything about this new tracking on Android recently, so I might have just gotten unlucky with an A&#x2F;B test, but this does show that Google is really committed to deploying this new tracking technology across their products. I am curious if anyone else has gotten this yet, or if the current launch is limited to a few random devices.<p>Screenshots from the phone: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fe.disroot.org&#x2F;media&#x2F;a17a8e9b289a05fda00a4d4ad58829c309c8cb2d3e84defa7b2dc7f268890082.jpg https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fe.disroot.org&#x2F;media&#x2F;fc8d31716ed697fb023966fd7f9d17d70251861b3759746c95e83aeac7f3417b.jpg<p>In case it is relevant, this happened on a OnePlus 10 Pro running stable OxygenOS 13.1, with Google Play system being on the July 1, 2023 version.

Yes, it showed up on my phone this morning. Oddly enough, though, I didn&#x27;t <i>update</i> my phone this morning, which means that the &quot;feature&quot; shipped a while back and was only recently activated.
