Native apps are much, much more privacy-invasive. Apple forces you to use those. You have no choice, like on other platforms.

- Karupan 6y agoI agree, with a caveat - Apple can and does remove apps which are caught stealing data permanently. The App Store and Apple's policies act as a safeguard for users. As far as I know, there is no reliable way to do that for web apps.
- the_gipsy 6y agoDon't fool yourself, Apple will never remove killer apps, only small insignificant apps. Instagram for example "steals" way too much data than necessary, yet apple does not remove them. TikTok just got caught for some stuff - still there. So they might catch some rogue apps, but far from reliable or trustworthy. They protect their platform image, nothing more. With webapps at least I can take some measures like ad and tracking blocking myself. I don't have to give access to the system unless some case really warrants it.
