If your ad results suddenly tanked this month…
it might not be your funnel... it might be iOS 26.
Apple’s latest privacy update is tightening tracking again, blocking how Meta and Google collect click and conversion data through Safari, Mail, and Messages.
So if your dashboard numbers look like junk right now, you’re not crazy.
The data really is messier than usual.
Here’s the thing most marketers won’t tell you ⤵️
When attribution gets cloudy, your on-platform strategy becomes even more important.
That means:
✅ Strong creative that grabs attention and keeps people engaging on-platform
✅ Retargeting sequences built inside Meta (not just relying on pixel data)
✅ Clear messaging that speaks directly to your audience’s stage of awareness
Because when Apple cuts off visibility, Meta rewards the advertisers who keep people interacting inside the app.
So instead of fighting the algorithm, you start working with it.
Now, combine that with solid first-party tracking and a conversion-ready funnel, and you’ve got the clarity to see what’s actually working, even when the data gets foggy.
That’s exactly why I build ad strategies and funnels that don’t fall apart when Apple moves the goalposts again.
The tracking might shift, but your system shouldn’t.
If you want me to share my top 3 ways to strengthen your on-platform strategy post-iOS 26, drop a 🔥 below and I’ll send them your way.
