I’m pleasantly surprised that they’ve hidden Facebook and Google behind a “More Options” button.
Now that’s what I like. Been waiting for this!

What I don’t get is why Apple don’t chuck their weight behind “sign in with Apple”? I’d be more inclined to use a company that supports it, so why not have a dedicated section on the App Store highlighting apps that do, peer pressure i.e free advertising may push others to do so. As it stands, it’s now like any of Apple’s decisions, introduce a feature & let it languish.
I’m most waiting on Quora now. I don’t use the app but Quora keeps popping up in web searches and I don’t want to create an account. Once the app comes, the website won’t be far behind.
After some back and forth with Apple Support, I’ve managed to get through to App Store staff to review some of the apps that I’ve found are skirting the rules and in some cases, deliberately finding ways to identify a user even when they choose to have their email hidden.
I found that even if you deleted the Yelp app, wiping clean any remnants of your previous logins, and then tried to create a new account using Sign In With Apple and choosing the anonymous email option, the Yelp app was actually looking at your Safari cookies to find previous instances of Yelp logins with accounts whose email address they do know, and then linking your “anonymous” account to your known email so they can continue to track you.
If you clear your cookies and the Yelp app can’t determine who you are, the app presents a Sign In With Apple error and suggests you sign in with an email instead. There are no issues signing in with Apple if you choose to let your real email be known.

I’m sure that’s coming. Apple creates App Store stories that promote the use of new features. Now that the deadline is passed and there are at least 300 apps that support Sign In With Apple, I expect that we’ll see it featured in the App Store soon.

Did you report Pinterest? hahahaha I guess Safari should add block against fingerprinting so these can be avoided.
I had added that one a while ago but if you see any others, please add it to the list on the first page. We’re at about 300 apps so far. Many more that we might not see will be adding Sign In With Apple now that the deadline has passed.The ‘Anchor’ Podcasting app has implemented SIWA. Version 3.30.0
It seems a lot of apps have been updating their apps to support SIWA lately..the more the merrier!
Hi iPedro, I’m happy to add them on but I don’t know how 😅I had added that one a while ago but if you see any others, please add it to the list on the first page. We’re at about 300 apps so far. Many more that we might not see will be adding Sign In With Apple now that the deadline has passed.

Taco Bell updated their app with SIWA today
