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

This is on android. iOS has usually less privacy issues.

Yeah 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.
