It's all cdn, social media, and a sms marketing app. Every expensive app does basically this, so are we supposed to be scared or something? The article doesn't really conclude.
The manifest claims “No Data Collected” so that’s a straight up lie and misrepresentation in the App Store. If this was some poor commoner’s app, they’d be removed from the store and probably banned
But these major apps are for profit, the wh app should adhere to a higher standard
