Advanced
You can modify your SDK integration to disable the collection of the advertising ID or of advanced device information (e.g. carrier, network type, device brand and model).
Advertising ID
By default, Batch SDK will try to collect the advertising ID (IDFA) if your app links to the AdSupport
framework.
You can manage the advertising ID collection by using the following methods:
- Swift
- Objective-C
Batch.setUseIDFA(false)
Advanced Device Information
Advanced device information include information about the device itself, but nothing that directly identifies the user, such as (but not limited to):
- Device model
- Device brand
- Carrier name (Removed by Apple on iOS 16.4+)
- IDFV (Removed in 1.17.2)
While it is enabled by default, you can manage the advanced device information collection by using the following methods. Set the value to false if you do not want Batch to use advanced device information:
- Swift
- Objective-C
Batch.setUseAdvancedDeviceInformation(false)
Important note: Disabling advanced device information collection will impact Batch core features, especially if you are planning to use native attributes to segment your userbase (see more here). It won't disable the advertising id collection (IDFA).
