READING NOW Subway Surfers leaks iOS users’ data!

A very worrying claim has been made about Subway Surfers, one of the most popular mobile games on both Android and iOS platforms. Accordingly, the game transmits your information to third-party advertising companies even if you do not allow it.

In January of this year, Apple announced a new feature called App Tracking Transparency. This feature required apps that collect information about your device to ask for your permission and tell you the reason for doing so. It seems that this transparency is not enough to block some applications.

Is Subway Surfers transmitting users’ data?

After the Transparency in Application Tracking feature came to the iOS operating system, a number of social media applications such as Facebook and Instagram began to require you to allow information access to continue using it. However, most applications continued to work normally if you did not allow data tracking.

According to the report from the Washington Post, Subway Surfers, one of the most played mobile games in the world, is abusing this permission. Even if you answer the question “Does Subway Surfers follow your actions on other companies’ applications and websites?”, which greets you at the opening of the application, your data continues to be shared.

According to the information received, Subway Surfers does not use this feature, which comes in iOS 14.5 and later versions, in favor of the user. Research shows that the game transmits device information to an advertising company called Chartboost 29, even if you do not allow data access. It was stated that Washington Post officials, who tried to reach Apple on the subject, have not yet received a response from the company.
