There was a lawsuit to remove Windows Explorer? Did you mean to say Internet Explorer?

Each developer will have to be authorized by Apple to switch engines “after meeting specific criteria and committing to a number of ongoing privacy and security mitigations,”

Now they can babysit other browsers and make sure they’re secure too, ig. Might as well throw that responsibility on the trillion dollar company. At least the browsers will end up more secure once the apple security team audits them.

The lack of updates to old devices might be exactly why apple doesn’t want to be compatible with them. It’s a HUGE attack surface. They can’t babysit every device’s downfall.

Pick one and post the issue then.

Sure. An ex-boyfriend doesn’t take the breakup from his girlfriend well, and decides to locate her. He remembers his phone used to be paired with hers, and decides to use that to find her.

As much as you want to fight me and make fun of me for this, this is a serious concern.

Tracking purposes, perhaps.

Thats why I’m asking if they know why the feature was removed so I can look up the specifics.

Thats not true. There are still phones out there being actively used that have been end of life for years now. There is no way to corral those insecure devices.

Which manufacturers and which products?

Security.

Security is the main reason you should get an iPhone, tbh.

Do you happen to know why they removed that feature?

Do you have an example of them rejecting a quality product from being used in their phones?

“We need you to stop making a good product so your customers can finally move away from it.”

They do a lot of work to keep your phone number private, or at least any data that is tied to it. This username upgrade is solely for someone to communicate over Signal without needing to hand over your phone number.

For example, you can now be in group chats with internet strangers by just giving them your username.

On top of that, once MLS is adopted, you can communicate with other messengers as well.

To add to this, you arguably cant have privacy or anonymity without security first.

If there are any vulnerabilities or design flaws for your device or its OS, you shouldn’t fully trust your device to handle sensitive tasks.
