Twitter is Now Tracking Your Apps

Twitter is collecting information about the apps installed on your smartphone or tablet to serve you better ads.

Called App Graph, the update will keep track on the applications on your device, but won’t collect any data from the apps themselves.

App Graph is opt-out, and Twitter will prompt you when it’s tracking your data, so you will be able to opt out at that time. If you haven’t seen the prompt then Twitter says it isn’t yet tracking your device.

Here’s more on how it works, courtesy of Twitter Support.

To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in.
