A couple of days ago a popular social media app called TikTok came in the headlines for its suspicious behaviour of snooping on the iPhone’s clipboard. It is said that these apps peek on the handset’s saved clipboard, which can have sensitive data like IDs and passwords, everytime when they are opened or closed. These are said to share the data found in the clipboard with the other nearby device using the same Apple ID. Also reported is that, as soon as the list was made live in March, 10% Happier: Meditation and Hotel Tonight promised to remove this behaviour. TikTok promised the same but has not fixed it yet.
