Mac Developer: Half of data connections by top 500 Android apps are 'covert' with no effect on user experience
Half of data connections by top 500 Android apps are 'covert' with no effect on user experience The new study, summarized on Thursday by MIT News, looked at data transferred to and from the 500 most popular applications available on Android. Specifically, MIT was interested in so-called "covert" communications being silently sent by the top apps.
I highly doubt that iOS is any different at all. The only truly free applications are the ones that don't require network entitlements to function.
