I’d like to know how I’m still logged in in Twitch even after deleting and installing the app. Or how Spotify offered me to link it to an Alexia device I was setting up after I installed the Alexa app.

Unfortunately, unless the App deleted these entries from the Keychain, iOS does not delete this information upon app uninstall automatically. That is a way for Apps to check if User is installing app for the first time or not. Coming to Alexa, it might be totally different approach, Ability to find the devices on your network and may be with a combination of bluetooth Beacons. Fortunately, you need to install full app to read this information. Unlike a Facebook, Twitter or Google Analytics library(Framework) can track you across other apps with the same Library or Framework. For Second One, with iOS14 Apple prompts a Privacy Alert for Connecting to Other devices on network, You can simply turn it off. Detecting Alexa App on the device used to be possible before, but it does not go unnoticed by Apple these days without some co-ordination between Amazon and Spotify.
- saagarjha 6y agoKeychain items persist even after you delete the app, and probably app URLs?
- naturalpb 6y agoFor the Twitch issue, it's likely that Twitch stored a secret in your Keychain that persists. If you have a Mac, you can enable iCloud Keychain on your devices to sync and explore the contents. Search for Twitch and delete the entry(ies).
