Facebook will lose 12.8 billion dollars in 2022 on the face of Apple!
Many iPhone users started using the App Tracking Transparency feature that came with the iOS 14 version. Facebook could not follow users within the application and could not offer advertisements according to their interests. According to analysts, Facebook will lose a total of $12.8 billion in revenue in 2022 because of Apple.
Facebook is not the only social media platform to suffer due to App Tracking Transparency. Snapchat will lose $545 million, Twitter $323 million and YouTube $2.2 million in revenue. However, the platform with the biggest loss seems to be Facebook with a share of 81%.
Facebook, on the other hand, announced that it will work to reduce its dependence on Apple due to loss of revenue.
