🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.
The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)
I’m pretty close to leaving social media. I’ll make a blog for anyone who can’t live without my hot takes.
I did it years ago. Only social media I use is this. I even cut off contact with my Trump voting family. I am alone in the world with just my kids, wife, and Lemmy.
