ATT implications (iOS 14+) and deprecation of LAT

At a glance: Starting iOS 14 iOS uses ATT to determine user privacy preferences and Limit ad tracking (LAT) is deprecated.

Starting iOS 14: Apple ATTrackingManager (ATT) provides the status values for app tracking authorization.
AppsFlyer gets ATT from the following sources:
- AppsFlyer SDK V6+ embedded in the app.
- By API from advertisers. For example, S2S API.
ATT is available in raw data reports. You need to explicitly request it as follows:
- Pull API: Add ATT to the additional_ fields parameter in your Pull API requests.
- Export Data page: In the report fields tab, explicitly select ATT.
- Data Locker: In the Data Locker configuration page, explicitly add ATT to the field list.
- Push API: In the API Access page, explicitly add ATT to the field list.
Advertisers use ATT to gain a better understanding of user privacy preferences.
In some cases, ATT is populated by values defined by AppsFlyer. They are indicated by the prefix af in the table.

ATT status	Remark	IDFA availability	Behavior
not_determined	Apple specified	Until iOS 14.4: Available Starting iOS 14.5: Not avaialble	ATT default value.
restricted	Apple specified	Not available	This is determined by Apple based on the iTunes account and is not related to user behavior. For example, based on user age.
denied	Apple specified	Not available	This occurs if the user explicitly denied consent in the prompt or turned off Allow Apps to Request to Track in the device.
authorized	Apple specified	Available	The user explicitly gave consent.
af_unknown	ATT value was reported by the advertiser but is not a known value per the ATTrackingManager specification	iOS version dependant
af_authorized	IDFA use permitted for one of the following reasons: Device iOS version: prior to iOS 14. The event reported contained IDFA but not ATT. For example, an app having SDK V5.X on a device having iOS 14	Available
af_unavailable	ATT was not reported in the event by the advertiser and IDFA is not available. AppsFlyer SDK version V5.X is unable to get ATT and did not get IDFA	Not available
