Firefox users also have a similar function on iOS, too, as pointed out on Reddit, though this was since iOS 16 beta 3. You can see in his above Tweet that he's using Microsoft Edge, and has a "Continue with Apple Pay" button on the Apple Store webpage. This was first spotted by Steve Moser on Twitter, who is a contributing writer to MacRumors. On iOS 15 Apple Pay only works in Safari. On the latest iOS 16 beta Apple Pay works in Edge, Chrome and I assume any third party browser. That depends in part on how Apple rolls out the feature so that users aren’t seeing a flood of notifications, adding to the pop-ups they already see when using a web browser or in other contexts.You can now use Apple Pay in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, provided you're bold enough to try out Apple's betas and iOS 16 beta 4 ( via The Verge.) This comes as a major change, as, outside of apps, Apple Pay checkout on iPhones with iOS 15 is currently limited to the Safari web browser. Will people get sick of all these pop-ups? “The way someone’s data was being sliced and diced by companies behind their backs just wasn’t sustainable,” the trade publication Digiday said. There may have been a sense that a crackdown was unavoidable given regulatory and consumer scrutiny over data generally. Apple gave the industry many months to prepare for this, and marketers couldn’t exactly come out in direct opposition to transparency. Is it just Facebook? Or are others criticizing Apple?Īside from Facebook’s objections, the response from the ad industry hasn’t been much of a freakout. “The fact that Facebook’s panicking is a good sign that it’s probably going to work,” Gebhart said. It has blasted Apple for the design and wording of the pop-ups, and Facebook says it will display its own “educational screen” pop-up to users before presenting Apple’s prompt. The social network has tried to put a positive spin on the situation, arguing that people would rather see personalized ads rather than random ones and that targeted ads benefit small businesses. The IDFA is a string of characters that apps on an iPhone can use to watch certain activity without necessarily knowing a user’s name.

Consider it a license plate for your phone, Gebhart said. It’s centered around a four-letter acronym: IDFA, the Identifier for Advertisers. What will it mean for the smartphone now that apps have to ask? Let's dive in. That includes activity on smartphone apps, and most of the time, this happened without tracking systems asking permission. The internet's evolution gave rise to tracking systems that started simply enough - what websites you visited - and evolved into a vast surveillance system in which just about any web activity is often logged, shared and sold. “What Apple’s doing is both totally revolutionary in shaking up the mobile app ecosystem, and it’s also really normal,” said Gennie Gebhart, a privacy researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit in San Francisco that advocates for privacy online. And while it might seem like a simple pop-up option, it's a change that has already sent shockwaves through the app economy - including at Facebook and Google, the internet’s two biggest ad businesses.
