🤯 Every app installed on the iPhone can read the iPhone's storage volume creation timestamp (down to the second). No permission required. This value remains the same until the volume is erased. Yikes!!
The UUID seems to be the same for all devices.

So, every installed app can see your device's local IPs (Wi‑Fi, cellular SIM, VPN). A VPN doesn't prevent that. I tested iVPN, Mullvad VPN, and Proton VPN. I tried several options such as blocking LAN traffic. Nothing worked to hide the IPs🤷♂️

@mysk@mastodon.social Huh, maybe I missed something, but why are you censoring the creation timestamp? And not doing the same to the UUID if needed?
