You can vote strategically in any deterministic voting method. There's nothing special about Approval Voting. People can vote honestly based on whether they approve (have a favorable opinion of) a candidate. Or they can be tactical and base the decision on probability of winning.

And in approval voting at least your strategy is very close to honesty.

Your strategic consideration only consists in choosing a cutoff.
