Fraud doesn’t always look fraudulent. A suspiciously fast install could be fraudulent traffic. It could also be a legitimate user completing a well-optimised journey. A low rejection rate could indicate better traffic — or simply reflect a different way of measuring it. So, how do you know what the data is really telling you? The answer lies in context. Apptrove analysed 2.55 billion attribution events across a three-month observation period to understand how rejected traffic behaves, where mobile ad fraud in 2026 concentrates, and what marketers should look for when evaluating traffic quality. 7.48% of installs were rejected 7.5× more Android SDK spoofing volume than iOS 47.71% rejection rate for sub-10-second installs 59.5% blended rejection rate across six high-rejection partners What Does the Data Reveal About Mobile Ad Fraud in 2026?

What Is Tech Stack? Tech stack refers to the set of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, databases, underlying technology, and tools used to create, run, and improve the digital solution. In this way, tech stack can be imagined as the technical plan of an application where each layer performs its particular function and all layers contribute to making the application work well, perform effectively, and develop over time. A tech stack can be represented in the simplest way with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some database necessary for developing a small online application or presented in a more complicated way with a distributed architecture including cloud infrastructure, containers, APIs, microservices, monitoring tools, and machine learning models . What matters the most is the need of the product, not the actual technologies that may be considered popular. The expression software development stack is usually used to indicate this broader group of technologies...

The QR code has been forced to move from the restaurant menu to the self-checkout stand. There are more than 102 million people in the US alone who will be scanning a QR code this year, and the global QR Code industry has reached a value of more than $13 billion. It doesn’t have to be a trend, that’s infrastructure. However, there is also the other half that most people don’t do: scan a code. The magic is in the QR code tracking, which maps the scan, its time, location, device, and subsequent action(s). If you don’t track you’re printing codes and hoping. With it, each individual QR code turns into a miniature self-reporting check point within your marketing funnel. It explains how it works, why it is imperative for all app and ecommerce marketers and how to do it correctly without the guesswork. What is QR Code Tracking and Why Does It Matter? QR code tracking refers to the ongoing process of observing and recording data whenever someone s...

App Tracking Transparency (ATT) is Apple’s privacy system. ATT lets users control whether apps can track them across other apps and websites. Whenever a particular application wants to get access to tracking features, it needs to get permission before doing it. Starting with iOS 14.5, all applications must be explicitly authorised by users to access IDFA for tracking purposes. This has completely changed the landscape of mobile attribution, measuring campaigns, audience segmentation , and advertising within the scope of iOS devices. What Is App Tracking Transparency? App Tracking Transparency is Apple’s permission system that allows controlling cross-app tracking as well as cross-website tracking. If an application wants to track a user’s activities in applications and websites owned by other companies, it must get permission through Apple’s prompt. Users are given the option to allow or deny tracking by responding so that the application eithe...

Metaverse apps are any application that allows users to enter a persistent, shared 3D space rather than touch a flat screen. Instead of menus and buttons, this type of experience provides a world you can move through, build, and interact with—with others in real time.
