During last year’s WWDC, Apple announced new products and services including iOS 13 that added system-wide support for dark mode, WatchOS 6, updated iMessage, Photos, Camera interface, iPadOS, Mac Pro, Apple Pro Display and macOS Catalina. Apple also delved into privacy and launched its own single sign-on(SSO) aptly named Sign in with Apple.
Sign In With Apple is the biggest middle finger to tracking services and social sign ons.

Sign in with Apple works by allowing you to sign in without providing any personal information like your email addresses to third parties. The service creates for you a unique randomly generated email address that hides your actual email associated with your Apple ID.
The new service meant that developers will be prevented from sharing or selling users contact info, avoid being targetted with marketing as with Facebook Custom Audience ads.
Sign in with Apple also limits third-party tracking on Apple devices but also forced developers to participate.
Several companies have come on board with this new sign-in method. The deadline was the end of this month(April 30th) but Apple extended it to June 30th.

Apple users, it’s been a big week for Sign In With Apple. Apps like Medium, IFTTT, NYTimes, Strava, Ritual, Freshii, Fiverr and dozens more now offering the privacy of Apple’s anonymous sign in method. I was able to drop Facebook logins entirely. No more tracking me Zuckerberg!
