Owners of devices running Android are much less concerned about the issue of confidentiality compared to their colleagues in the iOS clan. On such thoughts AndroidInsider. ru pushed a recent scandal involving the service Uber, whose application has continued to track the location of customers for some time after the trip.

Despite the fact that the mobile client Uber continued to track the movement of users of both platforms, it was the owners of iOS-devices that forced the developer company to correct this misunderstanding. The result of verbal battles will be the release of the update for iOS, which allows you to turn off tracking right after the trip.

On the assurances of Joe Sullivan, the chief security officer of Uber, the surveillance of users at the end of the route was the result of a certain failure.

"We regret asking for more information than required," says Sullivan. - We are going to prescribe in the settings of the service the possibility of disabling tracking ».

In Uber did not refuse to add a similar function to the application for Android, but did not name the exact time of the release of the update. Is this due to technical limitations imposed by Google, or do the users themselves allow developers to treat themselves this way? In this case, I put on the second.
