I don't really have a problem believing this. There seem to be an increasing number of apps - often promoted through ads in social media - which are required to do operations that just as easily could be done via a website, but are likely a requirement in other to additional harvesting capabilities of an installed app or malware
I never install an app if I can do something through a website. Twitbook, reddit, Instagram, whatever. If it really requires an app I generally choose to just not do it.
It’s not just the app. I’m sure the website is collecting obscene amounts of data as well.
Yeah, I’ve never intentionally clicked on a Temu ad. Browsers do provide an additional layer of security as far as access permissions for mobile devices, though they can of course be exploited as well.
There's still a big difference between what can collected from an app vs a Web site.
