Late last year, Apple enforced App Store 'privacy labels'. For the first time, it's easy to compare how much data an app links to your account Looking at messaging apps, the contrast is quite stark

This is why iOS 11 changed the Bluetooth behaviour in Control Centre. Keeping it turned on becomes much more important in a world where you own several Siri devices, all listening. This is especially true in the place they’re most likely to congregate: your home.

@ezrenamarwan Strictly, this is wrong: 1) They record ~15 of audio when there is a user report. If no report, all audio is deleted when the room ends. This was very clearly stated on last Sunday’s Town Hall, and the privacy policy will be updated to make it even clearer

#fuckapple , a thread I cofounded @fanhouseapp 8 months ago to empower creators to monetize their content. We pay creators 90% of earnings. Now, Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse from the app store unless we give them 30% of creator earnings. This is theft and exploitation.
