The "third parties" can access and read your emails, check your bank accounts, all your contacts and even get their email addresses and phone numbers from your cellphone.
An hour ago I got a notification from "Siri" saying that there was a game on Wednesday, Oct 13 at 6pm and lasting until around 8p.m.
Coincidentally, I did get an email from a friend saying that he would be at the rec center at 6pm if anyone wanted to play cards.
So, "Siri" DOES READ YOUR EMAIL......and even though Siri is available on my Iphone, I have never activated or used it.
I don't trust technology. Maybe I should throw away my cellphone.
Do you have a SMART TV and is it connected to the Internet thru your tv provider. How Retail Stores Track You Using Your Smartphone (and How to Stop It) der? Your car is even connecting thru bluetooth/wifi How Retail Stores Track You Using Your Smartphone (and How to Stop It)
Ever notice when using a computer or tablet for searches or general browsing ads will start appearing general to your search. It's not just iPhone it's any smartphone and Flip Phones have the same capability.
