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

    This is getting less and less true though. Also WiFi permission is not a thing on iOS.

      These 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.

      This technique was discovered, makes me wonder how many undiscovered techniques are still in use.

      I 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
