I still remember the LinkedIn app ripping all my contacts, so no apps for me. I just use the sites.
Which are increasingly user hostile, if not down right impossible to view on mobile. Go try using Reddit or Twitter on your Mobile browser.
They can also track anything you do outside their browser, on a website with their tracking pixel.
Isn't this the main reason why social media pushes their apps over their (once) perfectly functional websites? Better analytics = better product*. * for the true customers, i.e. marketing & communication firms, governments, etc.
Why do you say “true customers”? Is anyone under the impression that they are a customer of a service they don’t pay for? People would readily identify as a “Twitter user” instead of a “Twitter customer”
i don't understand why apple allows in-app browsers.
What would be nice here is a permission requirement if you're injecting code into a browser view.
No wonder. I recently opened a link on Instagram and the website's responsive elements were completely broken. Then I opened the link in Safari and it worked fine. Does this script injection break Apple's ToS? I thought Apple required Safari/Webkit for all in-app browsers? Zuckerberg has no shame. PS. I hate in-app browsers. They don't sync with my main browser states such as authenticated sessions.

Maybe not on a technical forum like this, but I think the distinction between a "customer" and a "user" is sufficiently fuzzy among non-technical people.
