iPhone Privacy Panic: NSA Warns Users of Sneaky Spy Settings!

The NSA is warning iPhone users to check privacy settings, as a sneaky feature could allow apps and hackers to track you like a digital bloodhound. To stay safe, only share your location when using an app and cut off unnecessary permissions. Because, let’s face it, your phone doesn’t need to know your every move.
