Apple Maps launches ads on iPhone, here’s what’s new
Key Points:
- Apple has officially launched ads in Apple Maps, with the rollout beginning in the US and Canada and set to expand to all users in the coming weeks.
- Ads appear in two places within the Maps app: as suggested places on the search screen and within search results, marked by a small blue badge labeled ‘Ad.’
- Apple emphasizes its privacy-first approach, ensuring that user location data and ad interactions are not linked to Apple accounts or shared with third parties, with personal data remaining on the user’s device.
- Businesses interested in advertising on Apple Maps can take advantage of a current promotional offer from Apple.
