I've removed them. Is there any justification why these apps shouldn't simply be listed with a spyware warning? I've tried to see the "innocent misunderstanding" angle but I just can't.<p>Linkedin. Not sure why it needed to snoop the clipboard. Anyone care to explain why it needed that access?<p>I can't see any reason why Reddit needed it either. Reddit broke their web experience as well.<p>Can't these apps rely on paste? Or it is a tooling/sdk issue?<p>I also found the app I use to top up phone credit was demanding camera access on android. Removed that as well. Spyware.
This kind of thing is why I insist on using Reddit via mobile Web instead of their app, no matter how much they nag me to switch. Native apps allow lots of invasions of privacy like this. Web apps inherently don't, and they can still do everything that I'd want for sites like Reddit.
Genuine Question: Can/Does apple allow some apps to not show this warning. I don't have an iphone but if safari has a feature like Chrome to show the copied url then this should pop up every time I open safari. Which is not good for apple and is a good enough feature I guess.
