Much has changed in mobile and app advertising with the rollout of iOS 15. Now Facebook issued a statement on how advertisers can boost their campaign performance despite the privacy updates and how the changes may affect them.
The social network confirmed that cots of campaigns may have increased in light of harder-to-achieve measurements.
It admitted that it was underreporting iOS web conversions by around 15%.
However, it also said that conversions such a sales and app installs were likely higher than reported by marketers.
In light of the changes and to help app developers boost performance, the company issued a series of actions advertisers can now take.
