The downturn in the global economy and the problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic are hitting tech companies hard. For this reason, many companies are looking for new ways to make money.
When you buy any Apple device, some apps like Podcasts, Books and Maps come pre-installed.
Now, Apple is conducting some tests to show ads in these apps.
Apple has started testing
According to recent reports, the US company has internally tested search ads in Maps, which can show suggestions when you search for restaurants, shops or other nearby businesses.
Apple may also expand the ads that appear in the App Store's Search tab to the Today tab and app download pages.
For now, there's no official word from Apple, but it's unlikely that users will be happy to see more ads in apps.
