Apple logs every iPhone user’s text message contacts, new leak claims

[Guest Yoni Heisler]

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpgApple likes to make boasts about how secure its Messages app is, but new revelations from The Intercept detail how Apple keeps a log of every iPhone user's texting contacts that they will readily share with law enforcement authorities when served with a court order. Now this isn’t a Snowden level leak by any means, nor does it imply or suggest that Apple has access to the content of any privately sent messages, but in today’s age where user privacy is a hot-button issue, it can never hurt to be cognizant of what information might be shared with the police.
