    there’s a difference between malware and junk. ios is pretty much malware free. and i’m not sure you want apple deciding what is “junk” and what isn’t.

      Facebook app set up a local server on the iOS device that received pings when a browser loaded their tracking pixels.

      I feel like that behaviour falls under my definition of spyware. I know it’s not as malicious as it could be, but still.

        sure, there are gray areas, and apple does keep them somewhat in check. but also if you’re willingly installing facebook you should know that your privacy is already heavily compromised.
