This is a wonderful comment, but also ...
Is there a way to prevent future versions of the app from uploaded the locally saved data? Even if none if it was in the cloud to begin with?
That's the route I would be most concerned about.
After that, I agree with the rest of your comment.
- ethbr1 1y agoBlocking network access by a specific app at the OS level would be the way to achieve this. I don't believe iOS currently has this ability (all network, not just cellular). Android has solutions like NetGuard.

- ethbr1 1y agoThe issue with this in practice is that it collapses to one of (a) never take updates ever again or (b) risk that any update changes privacy behavior. Given that it's impossible for a user to vet each update's content effectively.
- illiac786 1y agoI agree about a) but b) does not make sense to me, otherwise you cannot instal the app in the first place. I think that a quick internet search about the apps privacy is sufficient for b), definitely better than automatic updates. And it does not have to happen for every release.
