The makers of two iPhone apps have apologised after it emerged they had uploaded users address-book information without explicit permission.
Mr Ludlow invited other developers to attend an "application privacy summit" at its San Francisco headquarters.
The aim, he wrote, would be to create a "privacy pledge - one that can be adopted by all apps, detailing for users what types of privacy expectations they should have".
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
WhatsApp introduces a breakthrough feature enabling iPhone users to share photos and videos in their original quality on the messaging platform.
According to a recent report, the iPhone 16 series might come with an additional hardware button.
Yeah, maybe instead of a lame summit they could just do things properly - like hash emails - instead of nabbing all your contacts, unsecured.
They are only apologizing since they were caught. The obviously knew what the apps were doing but didn't really care.
Makes you wonder how well some of the companies we trust with information are actually ran. Make me even more grateful for the ones that send me all the annoying possible hacked emails.
