Researcher claims iPhone apps of Meta, Instagram and TikTok tracking user data
By MYBRANDBOOK
Security researcher Felix Krause has made some serious allegations against Meta, Instagram and TikTok, saying their iPhone applications may be capable of tracking everything users type in their in-app internet browsers.
Last week, the researcher published a report on these applications alleging that all the third-party links on their applications can cause various risks to the user. He also claimed that users who click on links in the two apps are taken to webpages in an ‘in-app browser’ allegedly controlled by Facebook or Instagram, rather than being sent to the user’s preferred web browser, such as Safari or Firefox.
Krause further explained that when Instagram users click in links of products sent by their friends as direct messages on their iPhones, the URLS open within the in-app browser. If the users decide to buy the products, they must enter their credit card information, shipping address, and other information, all of which can be tracked by Instagram. Reportedly, the same things can happen if they bought a product from an Instagram advertisement.
Krause also claims that Instagram “injects javascript code into every website shown” which provides them potential access to all that user data and more-despite the fact that there is no evidence that Instagram, Facebook, or Tiktok are recording such data.
