- scarface_74 2y agoWhat data can apps access without your explicit permission?
- bdangubic 2y agoinstall tiktok (if you do not have it) and disable everything, no mic/camera/photos/contacts/… nothing. then ask you partner/friend/… to send you some text messages about purchasing an ebike for instance. open safari and do some searches for ebikes (https://blue.bike https://blue.bike perhaps and others)… the head on over to tiktok and scroll a bit and see if any ebikes start showing up…
- threeseed 2y agoa) There is no evidence that Apple is sharing messages with third parties. b) You are simply confirming my point which is that when you visit a website it is able to tie you to an consistent identifier through the APIs your browser supports.
- bdangubic 2y agothere is no evidence for a whole lot of things… /s
- scarface_74 2y agoSo you think there a conspiracy and that TikTok for iOS has been able to break out of its sandbox and read your text messages? This would have made news if so.
- monocularvision 2y agoYou do realize that it was the “open safari and do some searches for ebikes” step that causes you to get the ads in TikTok, right?
- acheron 2y agoWhat? No. Apps are guaranteed to be sandboxed and can’t access anything you don’t let them.
