The IDFV<\/strong> provides a consistent way to recognize a user across multiple apps from the same developer account:<\/p>\n The IDFV remains the same<\/strong> for all apps from the same vendor installed on a device.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It resets only when all of the vendor\u2019s apps are removed<\/strong> from the device.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Unlike the IDFA, it cannot be used to track users across apps from different developers<\/strong>, making it a tool strictly for first-party analytics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n For developers, this makes the IDFV ideal for measuring engagement and user behavior within their own app ecosystem<\/strong>, without relying on external identifiers or tracking across competitors\u2019 apps.<\/p>\n IDFV does not require user consent under the App Tracking Transparency framework, as it is not intended for cross-app or cross-company tracking. For advertisers and product teams, IDFV is commonly used for internal analytics, user behavior analysis, fraud prevention, and attribution within a single developer\u2019s app portfolio, while remaining aligned with Apple\u2019s privacy standards.<\/p>\n Measuring user behavior across multiple apps from the same developer<\/strong> Supporting internal attribution and funnel analysis<\/strong> Enabling personalization within a vendor\u2019s app ecosystem<\/strong> Assisting with fraud detection and account integrity checks<\/strong>\n
