Ask HN: Do Smartphone Apps get audited?
3 by hosa | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I remember I read that article in the past about the guy who reverse engineered TikTok, and thats how we found out it was collecting too much information about you.. Another article about some apps that monitor the clipboard which would allow your passwords to be revealed .. I believe Not just for security reasons , but for efficiency reasons as well, I have used several apps that for some reason consume too much power(cpu) or memory .. So my question is , what does Google and Apple do to protect its users? I would imagine an honest organization should exist whose mission is to take the source code from every proprietary app developer,analyze and audit it.. And publish its findings..
