What TikTok and Facebook may track with their in-app browsers

Washington Post - Technology News

Twitter, Reddit and others use Apple's browser, they confirmed, which prevents apps from observing people's activity after they open outside links. A spokeswoman for Twitter said the company switched to Apple's tool in part to protect user privacy.
