Although many people will deeply suspect that Facebook or other social applications will eavesdrop on their conversations or even chat messages. In fact, there may not be much evidence for the former, but after the iOS 14 upgrade, the latter will more deeply reveal the status of various applications “accessing” your personal information through system notifications. Now it has also led to various interesting tests – and then everyone is “afraid of exploding .mov” after testing.

Both FB and Douyin have “stealing cuts”! iOS 14 scrapbook privacy protection triggers various tests and panics
iOS 14, which strengthens privacy protection and provides a variety of information access displays, can be regarded as a mirror for current application developers to some extent – it seems that Apple’s privacy updates at the WWDC conference are serious!
In the iOS 14 beta test version, the system’s “actions” for various applications to access private information will now have corresponding display effects. For example, when accessing the camera, a green light will be displayed in the status bar of the iPhone’s bangs (just like the green light when the Mac computer video lens is activated); when accessing the microphone, a red light will be displayed. And iOS 14 also has a notification function for clipboard content access – this really makes many apps “visible” as soon as they are opened.

Well-known developer Pi Le recently shared the clipboard access notification of iOS 14 on his Facebook page. Users have discovered that apps such as TikTok will continue to copy the input content. You can refer to the above Twitter video and see that the clipping notification keeps appearing. Have you suddenly wondered whether you have copied your passwords with apps such as 1Password before, and then jumped to watch TikTok and “twitched” it?
Although there is not necessarily a direct relationship, it is recommended that those who are afraid can make advance arrangements and change their passwords first – people who use Google authenticator two-stage authentication applications should be careful not to continue copying verification codes directly into their mobile phones (you will learn a lesson after learning XD). After such news broke out, many users on the Internet began to conduct related tests – and also taught youTips on how to check if there are any stolen clippings even without upgrading to iOS 14。

The result is that while laughing at Douyin users(laughing and then crying), and found that even Facebook, which Taiwanese people love to use, is actually one of the members who secretly cut it (deng was stunned). In addition, netizen Huang Yucheng also shared in the comments that he checked a lot of apps using iOS 14 beta and found that Weibo, Baidu, Taobao, QQ and Bilibili all covet the content in your scrapbook – as for Douyin and Facebook, they will continue to cut and cut while you enter the selected words.

I mean, these developers should find ways to change it in the future.(or bypass), to avoid notoriety and privacy concerns (right?). Prior to this, Pi Le suggested in the article that if you have to use these services, you can switch to the web version, which is a relatively low-risk approach – after all, the App has a lot of permissions (but we also grant them to ourselves ~ cover your face); some netizens also shared that when using 1Password, you should also remember to check the option to clear the scrapbook, which is one of the ways to avoid the borrowing of private content such as the scrapbook to a certain extent.
It can only be said that as far as the popularity of this method is concerned, there is really no need to laugh at “O country is not surprised”, because there should be a lot of users who have upgraded to iOS 14… That is really not surprising.
