Reddit and LinkedIn have both promised to fix clipboard snooping in their mobile apps after iOS 14 revealed the behavior.
“Reddit and LinkedIn to stop one of the ways they’re spying on you because they got caught.”
clap, clap
“fix”
“design flaw”
“bug in the code”
It’s honestly quite phenomenal how a silly little privacy feature has shamed and forced app developers into doing the right thing.
While I would’ve preferred a popup that would’ve allowed me to reject or accept the clipboard snooping, I appreciate what Apple has done here.
Here’s hoping Google implements this in Android.
