From Apple support

If you turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in privacy settings, you'll stop seeing prompts from apps that want to track your activity. Each app that asks for permission to track while this setting is turned off will be treated as if you tapped Ask App Not to Track.

If an app asks to track your activity - Apple Support

App Tracking Transparency allows you to choose whether an app can track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites for the purposes of advertising or sharing with data brokers.

I’ve heard differently, apparently if you leave it off, then no apps can track you, or you can leave it on and choose which apps you want to allow to track you. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Oh, also…

I was on 14.6 Beta 1 and wasn’t on WiFi when this beta was released. I changed my cellular settings to “5G On” and “Allow More Data on 5G,” thinking that I could install a software update that way, but it still informed me that I needed WiFi to download and install.

Am I missing something?

I get something similar- this time on WIFI being told I’m not on WiFi! See screenshot.

Sorry, I didn’t explain myself. Yes I mean the long exposure effect you can add to a photo taken as a live photo. Thanks.

I understood since you said “effect”. Working great here with numerous live photos, both old and new shots.

The toggle has long been there before 14.5, and that is how it works. All or nothing.

With 14.5, it's now the main breaker switch that overrides all of the other switches that individual apps have been given.

If there was any change in the behavior behind the switch, like when the Wi-Fi toggle in the Control Center was altered, it would have received more notoriety.
 
12 ProMax (12PM)
AirPods Pro (APP)
Spent some time this weekend doing a few calls with the APP and found that frequently the sounds was “krinkly”. Something like a “scrunchy plastic wrapping” sound in the background. Not all calls all the time but the majority of the time. Did the APP disconnect and reconnect but no help. Not sure if it is beta 2 or the APP update.

Reported.
 
The ability to download updates over cellular will almost certainly be an individual carrier setting - the carriers have always been averse to large downloads. (Worst case scenario - get everyone at a football game downloading at the same time...see what happens to the local base station) :D

Everyone reporting whether they can or can't should also be saying what carrier they're on and what level of GSM their data context is (LTE/4G/5G). Not that I expect anyone to also post this - but what city you're in could also limit the capability.

You sure? I've heard if you leave app tracking toggled off, then no apps will track you, no need to toggle it on.

so i did tick it on and now i'm being asked to allow tracking which i say no to. It's happened on Hulu and Peacock for me. But not FB yet because I see no ads.

Anyone can tell me how to get Siri respond back, instead of me looking on the screen for a response?

Correct. And any app that hasn't been updated to ask for permission is automatically blocked anyway so developers can't drag out updating their apps thinking they'll be able to track you until they do...

Given the confusion here (amongst seasoned users) and on MacBreak Weekly last week on this same topic, I'd say Apple needs to clean up the dialogs there so its absolutely unambiguous what is meant. Right now it is not unambigous.

Has anyone noticed worse battery?

I’m trying to discern if it’s the beta or the fact that I added cameras to my HomeKit setup.

Remember, this is for third party tracking…or Facebook tracking you on someone else’s site. Apple doesn’t restrict first party tracking, I.e, Facebook tracking you on their own sites.
