Yes they do, the most recent example is apps using a vulnerability to steal images. Many people are blaming Google and Samsung for not addressing this problem sooner and of course having a faulty permissions system that allowed this in the first place. Samsung is frequently attacked for security issues since they take so long to push out updates. Apple avoids these problems entirely by sandboxing apps and thoroughly reviewing functionality before accepting. It is very rare to hear about security issues for iOS yet we hear about a new one for Android monthly.

- heavyset_go 7y ago> It is very rare to hear about security issues for iOS yet we hear about a new one for Android monthly. This exploit existed in the wild for iOS for years[1], and all a user had to do is visit a website for their device to be exploited. There are plenty of other recent exploits found in the wild for iOS[2][3]. This implant is undetectable and uploaded iOS users' photos and location data to the attackers[4]. All four of these iOS exploits were found in the same month. [1] https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/jsc-exploits.html https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/jsc-exploits....
