WebApps with extended permissions and minimal oversight. Use TikTok as an example, they gather and transmit your messages, contacts, photo library, etc and have even been caught ignoring permissions.
They probably can't easily ignore your average permission at least on an iPhone, but it's a little creepy thinking about them reading the accelerometer data and kind of watching you walk around your house or whatever.
And consumption should be possible anonymously; logging in is for participating. One app is one forever session. Creepy.

I would naturally assume iPhone would be worse since it is much more closed source walled-garden OS made by the sort of greedy corporation that gifts Trump a gold participation trophy. They're the farthest thing from a user-controlled privacy OS.

A friend used to develop apps for Android and iOS platforms. WRT privacy lockdown and default permissions: Android < iOS < degoogled variants of android focusing specifically on privacy, security, or minimalist obscurity (e.g., graphene, lineage, etc). Retail Android is by far the worst choice for privacy, because Google’s primary motivation for contributing to the project was always instrumentation of a mobile platform for data harvesting and ad delivery.

My bad. I thought this was about the absente functionnality on the web UI.
