As smartphones get more sophisticated and people spend more time online, online privacy is a more and more significant issue by the day. That’s one reason why, for instance, both Apple and Google are working on revamping their privacy options, and why documentaries like The Social Dilemma have had such a positive reception.
The end result of this may well involve putting more time and effort into customizing privacy settings, whether that’s asking an app not to track you or going deeper into your phone’s developer mode. But there’s a catch to part of this — specifically, that some apps might not be entirely honest when they say that they’re not tracking you.
