iOS Keychain Privacy Issue
2 points by benzinschleuder 3594 days ago
iOS apps persist keychain data even after the app is deleted.

For example, this allows Facebook to track you across multiple installations even if you intentionally uninstall the app.

There is no way to delete this data without jailbreak.

IMHO this is a huge privacy issue that needs more awareness.

Did you file a bug report with Apple?
