🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.
The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)

Announcement is out. Good on Microsoft for finally reaching a sane conclusion.
- Recall won’t ship as a feature at launch on Copilot+ PCs any more.
- Won’t be available in Insider preview channel at launch, as it was pulled.
When it does appear in preview channels, privacy and security researchers need to keep a close eye on what Microsoft are doing with the feature.
Microsoft tried developing this feature in secret in a way which tried to avoid scrutiny. Thank you to everyone who stood up.
I've written up my thoughts on the Copilot Recall feature in Microsoft Copilot+ PCs
I think it will enable fraud and endanger users, and is not the sign of a company who are committed to security first.
