I know your title is from the title of the article, but it's pretty misleading.
Just to clear things up, it seems like the bug grants the "Full Access" permission to 3rd party keyboards which allows them to make network requests (phone home) based on what you are typing while you have that specific keyboard opened. It doesn't grant the keyboards full access to anything on your iPhone, which is what the title makes it sound like.
edit: Here is a link to the Apple support article, which is a little clearer: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210613 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210613
- zadokshi 7y agoThis article title is the IT equivalent of click bait.
- allset_ 7y agoIf you think IT articles didn't have clickbait titles until now... oh boy.
- sixothree 7y agoI thought that was Google's keyboard has done since it was released. Correct?
- anamexis 7y agoYes, but you need to grant it permission to do so. The bug here is that keyboards have this "full access" permission even when the user has denied it.
