On iOS 15 Beta 4, the "Allow Cross-Website Tracking" option that appears in global application settings for apps that use WKWebView, defaults to On. On previous versions of iOS this defaulted to Off.

This was tested with the release (app store) versions of Firefox and Focus, which are both built against the iOS 14 SDK.


### Clean installs of Firefox and Focus on iOS 14.7.1

#### Before opening the applications:

 - Focus: No "Allow Cross-Website Tracking" option available
 - Firefox: No "Allow Cross-Website Tracking" option available

#### After using the applications:

 - Focus: The "Allow Cross-Website Tracking" option is available and set to *Off*
 - Firefox: The "Allow Cross-Website Tracking" option is available and set to *Off*
