You forgot data collection
I think if people realized how much data they can get from your iPhone with simple permissions like WiFi they’d think twice about giving so many apps access
- frizlab 1y agoThis is getting less and less true though. Also WiFi permission is not a thing on iOS.
- crimsontech 1y agoThese apps were recently found to be collectind a huge amount of personal browsing data from the device, regardless of whether private browser mode was used or permission settings. https://localmess.github.io/ https://localmess.github.io/ This technique was discovered, makes me wonder how many undiscovered techniques are still in use.
- frizlab 1y agoThis is on android. iOS has usually less privacy issues.
- gxs 1y agoI understand but less true doesn’t mean not true Also my bad, been a while since I installed an app believe it or not - also possible I saw this in android, but the general point stands
- frizlab 1y agoYeah permissions are relatively straightforward on iOS, and tracking w/o user consent is very much involved nowadays, whether in an app or on the web, and probably more difficult in an app.
