It is not the only App that probably fingerprints your phone. Whisper also does it, despite marketing themselves as a safe and anonymous place for vulnerable people to express themselves. It would be very helpful if anyone could comment on how to stop them. Note that this[1] was going on more than 1 year ago

- stopwhispering2 9y agoBy the way, in the case of Whisper, it had something to do with the Apple ID. By resetting the phone and creating a new Apple ID, it was unable to restore the old account. This was all before iOS 11. Edit: in another comment someone suggested IDFA and data stored in the keychain could be used to fingerprint you, even after you reinstalled an app. This makes a lot of sense.
