Faster Lightning input instead of USB-C

After Apple released the anti-tracking feature last year, the tracking between applications decreased significantly, but many new applications found 80% of applications to get around the feature to collect some information that enables them to identify the user and target it specifically for advertising. These methods come through a code that runs in the servers of the service and not the applications themselves, and this code comes from the design of the Chinese company Alibaba, which can also track the code.

More brilliance, Yvonne Islam, since 2007. I'm following you. Thank you for everything
Many thanks for the great effort
And every year and you are good
Thank you for the effort, but tell the editor that the word “one” comes to the feminine only, and one to the masculine one
All the article is mentioned only the word one, as if all the heroes of the news are female, while this contradicts the rest of the wording of the news, so the matter is mixed
Yes, I did review the article and was surprised by the repetition of the word even though I wrote it. Perhaps the effect of hurrying and fasting has rewarded us and God rewarded you 😅
The article has been corrected.
