No wonder. I recently opened a link on Instagram and the website's responsive elements were completely broken. Then I opened the link in Safari and it worked fine. Does this script injection break Apple's ToS? I thought Apple required Safari/Webkit for all in-app browsers? Zuckerberg has no shame. PS. I hate in-app browsers. They don't sync with my main browser states such as authenticated sessions.

  Apple has been fine doing things that hurt FB, see not giving them special privileges' around the Ad tracking permission changes that were added to iOS.

  Is there a legitimate use case that could explain why Apple is allowing this?

It probably is still running Webkit underneath with some additional JavaScript to track everything

  It would have to be. Apple's main bugbear seems to be anyone embedding Chrome or Firefox on iOS.

  All the time. For example: open a link in Gmail, forget that I am in the in-app browser, and log into a service.

    You shouldn't be typing passwords in 2022, get a password manager.

      Not paying a subscription for a password manager. And don't want a single point of failure for all my accounts.

        Self-host vaultwarden, it's free, and it syncs to all your devices so you have a bunch of backups.
