According to Microsoft, on "full" telemetry they actually could know I listened to that song if the Spotify program crashed.
Note that Enhanced is the default today, but Full will be the default telemetry level in the update this thread is actually about.
Anyway, that was just an example illustrating the difference between an application talking back to its server to deliver core functionality and OS telemetry.
- KirinDave 10y agoApple collects the crash reports for App store apps too. They just continued to use the brand testflight. But it's all Apple now. If the app developers elect to use testflight to manage crash reports (which they're suggested to do, and it's a good service for devs), then yeah, Apple owns that pipeline. So yeah, they do end up handling that data.
