US military turns off ad tracking on devices following Iran surveillance concerns

According to a Reuters report, the US military deactivated advertising trackers on its computers and mobile devices following claims that Iran utilized them to monitor American troop movements during wartime. The military stated that ad IDs have been restricted on computers since prior to 2021, while the measure was extended to mobile devices in February 2026. Reports indicate that Iran took advantage of vulnerabilities within mobile networks to pinpoint the location of devices operating outside their domestic networks.
