How Apps Use Push Notifications to Spy on You (and How to Stop Them)

Image
Back in December, we learned that governments and law enforcement agencies are able to spy on your smartphone activity by requesting your push notification data from Apple or Google . Very cool and unconcerning! But as it turns out, it's not just the authorities who can scrape your push notification data: Apps do it too, without you ever opening said app in the first place. But you can put a stop to it. How apps spy on you through your push notifications As security research duo Mysk explains in this video , apps are taking advantage of a loophole in iOS push notifications to scrape personal data on your iPhone and send it back to remote servers. Here how it works: iOS allows apps to wake in the background when push notifications come through in order to allow the app to decrypt the payload (the message contained in the notification), or download data attached to the alert. But according to Mysk, many "data-hungry" apps use this as an opportunity to send data analytics ...

Use Automations to Keep Alarms From Going Off When You Don’t Need Them

Image
I use the alarm feature in the iPhone's Clock app to remember when to feed my cat. I find that she bugs me less if she thinks the alarm, and not me, is in charge of the meal time (it sounds stupid but it works). When I'm out of the house, though, this alarm is mostly just a nuisance. That's why I set up my alarms to only trigger if I'm at home. This is useful for more than just cat people. Maybe you don't want your usual morning alarm to trigger while you're on vacation, for example, or maybe you have alarms that are useful at work that you don't want to hear at home. The point is you can set up alarms to only trigger when you're in a specific place using the iPhone's built-in shortcuts feature—here's how. First: set up alarms and name them Credit: Justin Pot The first step should be obvious: set u...

You Can Bring Back One-Tap 'Do Not Disturb' to Your Google Pixel

Image
Software updates are great when they make features better, but that doesn't always happen. Case in point: a recent Google Pixel update that's brought in a flurry of complaints . One of the least popular changes altered how Pixels handle the Do Not Disturb feature. Previously, you could swipe down from the top of your Pixel's screen and press the Do Not Disturb button in quick settings to toggle it on or off. The March 2025 update changed that, forcing you to make multiple taps to activate or deactivate Do Not Disturb on your Google Pixel smartphone. Plenty of Google Pixel users took to Reddit to complain about this change. Fortunately, there are easy ways to fix this behavior. Restore one-tap Do Not Disturb to your Google Pixel smartphone The easiest way to bring back the old Do No Disturb button is by downloading an app. Simple DND lets you do exactly what the old button used to. Once you install the app and give it the required permissions, simply tap the Add Tile b...
