The vast majority of users don't really understand what's going on. All they'll know is that Apple pulled two apps that they use all the time, and they'll blame Apple for it. Yes, it's stupid, but it's the unfortunate reality.

I do use Snapchat, but I would 100% support Apple pulling the app until they fall in line with proper privacy controls. Unfortunately I'm in the minority, and both Apple and Snapchat know this.




yeah, it's pretty frustrating, regular people on the street and even semi-technical people I talk to say "Oh, Apple is just as bad as all the others"

They legitimately don't understand the difference between Facebook tracking every detail about your life and Apple having an account with your name on it
