Is this nigger serious? iCloud security has been blown over time after time, only a underage faggot wouldnt remember the fappening

Someone call Gabriel, Satania is being dumb again.
Play store doesn't audit the apps submitted into it, it's user's own fault for installing dumb shit and not using f-droid
>Someone installed malware, lets blame the OS

Not defending android trash, android is trash almost as bad as iToddlerOS, but at least it's possible to fork it and remove Gapps botnet

Back at you Ranjeet

Only targeted celebrities. But at this time, Apple has heavily upgraded their securities for their services. iOS will always be more secure than Android.

You mean apps like pic related? This is basic normie b8. Fuck your thread.

Android was always a buggy mess. Just use an AOSP/Lineage rom

Fappening was a result of phishing. Literally any platform is vulnerable to phishing.

>ifaggot
>Secure
Nice meme.

How many times was iOS jailbroken? Now compare that to the number of ways and times Android has been rooted. There also people who would pay a lot of money to have their iPhone jailbroken, that's how secure iOS is.

>How many times was iOS jailbroken? Now compare that to the number of ways and times Android has been rooted.
Uhh, Google is developer friendly in a sense, unlike Apple. Android is open source and as long as the bootloader is unlockable and the kernel source codes are there, rooting is likely there too.
>There also people who would pay a lot of money to have their iPhone jailbroken, that's how secure iOS is.
And it hasn't happened since iOS 9. It technically has, but it wasn't untethered and it would require you to repeat the process every time you power off your phone.

It happened because it uploaded data without even asking for permission.

Yeah sure. You had the holding it wrong meme, bend gate, iPhone X/Xs not charging and most recently a literal backdoor exploitable by everyone and anyone thanks to FaceTime. And this is only a start.

Only a few. Now Samsung, Google and countless others have way way more.

Not sure what all these problems you didn't bother to mention have to do with the Play Store specifically. Neither Samsung nor Google are the developers the software mentioned in the article.

my nigga

Obviously has a hateboner for Apple.
But you can never deny that iOS is just better in security in comparison to Android. Enterprises and mega corporations use Apple devices and computers.

>Never had these kinds of problems with my iPhone?
Huh? It happened 3-4 years ago, with some app that supposedly turned the iPhone to a dashcam.

iOS is boring

google shill projecting lmao

YOU SONS OF ROTTEN WHORES STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU USE LINEAGE INSTEAD OF STOCK ANDROID LMFAO GO CHECK HOMESCREEN THREAD LITERALY ONLY 0.00001% WHO USE CUSTOM ROM REST ARE GOOGLE SHILLS WHO TAKE LOAD OF PAJEET COCKS UP TO THEIR ASSES.

google pajeet store is shithole and main reason why i refuse to switch to android.
google does not give a fuck about what kind of apps goes to their poo store simply pay 5 rupees and might as well upload malware there, not to mention almost every app has way better experience on iOS than android.

>If you’re wondering whether you have any of these malicious apps on your phone
Not a fucking chance in hell, and I actually use gapps.

The article describes a typical software retard check.

I don't own a phone, but if I did, I guess they'd be able to steal my collection of furry inflation porn. I hope they like squeakyiff.

facts > opinion

An incredibly personal, incredibly portable device should be boring. When I am using my phone, I don't ever want my butt hole to clench.

This. A smart phone is a tool. I want my tools to work. I don't need a nail gun to excite me, because that usually means something has gone wrong.

I guess personal anecdotes and shitposting is higher in the hierarchy of evidence than this.
>But you can never deny that iOS is just better in security in comparison to Android
I can, especially when the OS itself is malware by every definition.

No, they use predominantly Linux distros. But keep talking out of your ass, that'll make a great case for Apple.

That can't be real kek

(You)

Go back to your containment board:

>rooting is insecure
Fuck off with this meme. With the right setup any device can be made more secure than the stock setup, but (((they))) don't want you to know that because (((they))) want you to be locked in to having (((their))) spyware installed by default

Finally someone with a brain.

That's why you need to invest into open source phones.

what does pol has to do with this dipshit? does not pic say truth about play store? but you are just another seething andjeet shilling google botnet here.

There's nothing an open-source OS could do to prevent that. If a phone has a camera and an internet access these apps will function just like they do on Android. Apple actually reviews every application before publishing it so it's less of an issue on iphones. And on Android you have an even better option of not installing closed source applications at all, it's all up to you.

No, it was an app that got the info and it was everyone, not just celebrities. It's no different
