Not sure about a deadline, but they've been warned that they have to update their apps or risk being banned.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iOS and iPadOS 14.5.1 With Fixes for App Tracking Transparency Bug, WebKit Security Issues

The update doesn't fix the greyed out switch. After the update no app is asking and the famous switch is disabled.
Apple hesitated so long (probably Zuck asked kindly) with the anti tracking release that they forgot what they initially wanted. Apple wake up, you should block the trackers!

Which is brainless. Facebook get 14.5 on their test iPhones and work out a way to track you. Should have been a deadline. App not updated by the day before then they will be banned.

Did you read the option "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in Privacy settings? This mean that if it's not enabled the companies will no longer be able to use the ID for Advertisers (IDFA) by default and you won't see any popups from apps . If it's enabled apps can ask for specific permission through a pop-up notification or in settings. That's allNothing to worry about. It's just planned obsolescence, right ?? 🙀
*tongue placed firmly in cheek
Turn on download and install updates, make sure it’s on charge once it downloads if you still can’t install it, shut down your device for 10-20 seconds, turn it back on, should be able to install it then.
that’s what’s I had to do.
Now on iPadOS, when I long press the Files app icon, then tap on "Show All Windows", there's a + button on the upper right corner of the screen to open a new Files window more easily.
That's good, but it could be even easier if there was a "Open New Window" option next to the "Show All Windows" option.
But what I really want is to be able to open several Files tabs on iPad like I already do on the Safari app using the + button.

Maybe, it’s never slowed down that much before for any reason. Force restarted it and shut it down completely and when i booted it back up it was still really laggy.
Seems to have sorted itself so if it was reindexing or some other task I guess I will never know. Wish we had activity monitor on the iPhone
Are you guys on 14.5 public release or the final RC? I’m on RC and I also have this issue.
Facebook just asked me for permission to track on my iPhone 12 Pro max 14.5.1
I'm on 14.5 public release.
Appreciate for the suggestion but unfortunately didn't work for me.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but after updating, I am no longer able to sign into any iCloud services (mail, Find My, iCloud.com) on any of my devices. After a chat with support, they said my AppleID is locked due to "maintenance activity" ... no ETA on restoration of service. It's been three hours already.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Not really they just moved it to locking the iPhone with the sleep/wake button. There is a HUGE and clear .8 second delay from when you press the button to a full LOCK. Annoying to the point I have to double check before leaving my iPHone on the table before leaving it when I am at work
They deserve it back and more, after taking back all the butterfly keyboards and hopefully soon releasing the USB port and MagSafe hostages.
You didn't understand me, the switch is greyed out = not functional. I can't switch it on or off.
