Yes. Mobile and desktop apps have much more data leakage because they can store more data for longer and have much more APIs to use. A mobile app provides 100x more detailed data with more persistence than a website ever could.
This is well understood by the adtech industry and is why so many websites push apps in the first place.

Do you think an iPhone with the tracking blocker engaged is still a richer source of data than the web app on an iPhone? Facebook claims that Apple's privacy protections cost them $10 billion of revenue the first year.
- manigandham 4y agoYes. Apple's changes have reduced tracking in both modalities but webapps are far more constricted by Safari than native apps.
