Did you know you don't need apps to visit a web site? Just use a web browser. 
Signing up and downloading an app gives free license to the app developer to harvest any and all data from your phone. Believe you Willey, they can and absolutely will. When you start using a web browser instead of an app, many sites AI will automatically pop up and ask if you would rather use their app instead of a web browser. There is a real reason for that. They don't have permission to harvest every scrap bit of data off of your phone through a web browser. Some sites refuse to work on your phone if you have all cookies blocked. Why do you think Google, Amazon and Facebook have built massive data centers all over the globe? They gotta store everyones data they have harvested and repeatedly sell everyday somewhere. Why do you think these "Candy Crush Saga" and other phone games advertise so heavily everywhere about their "free" game app you can download? Duncan Doughnut will give you a free doughnut if you download their app. McDonalds will give you a free fry if you download their app. Most fast food joints now all have apps. You can now pay 12 times more for the same shitty food that you ate 10 years ago and give all of your private data away for free. What a deal.

Good point...Did you know you don't need apps to visit a web site? Just use a web browser.

So I could not find much searching but does the iPhone already have App Tracking On/Off?
Yes--- If I have zerotier turned on for my phone, DDG tracking protection gets shut down.
