Ted SpenceLet’s talk about a problem - software cannot be trusted anymore. In the past, if I allowed an app to send me notifications, I’d get alerted for things I wanted to hear about. Now every app uses spurious notifications as a way to artificially boost their daily active user count. I am one by one having to shut off notifications on apps that used to be reliable products. I’ve disabled notifications on linkedin because it keeps sending me ads and random unnecessary alerts.
Zorin =^o.o^=@Tedspence YES, this so much.
Apple started doing this with Photos, you can grant access to only certain photos. BUT they didn't do it quite right; they still tell the app partial access has been granted, so the app knows the user is holding back.
I'd love to see this with Contacts (share only a subset of contacts), location, etc. but damnit don't snitch to the app that I'm lying to it.
If an app needs to know REAL location for security reasons, that could be an entitlement that has to be granted, and the developer would have to provide a good reason.
