CTOnews.com, February 2, Apple Maps has a private BUG that allows applications to collect user location data without the user's permission. Apple has fixed this BUG in the latest iOS 16.3 update.

According to Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Ghedin, local takeout app iFood can still use the above BUG to track users' location even if users turn off access to the location of the app on the iOS 16.2 system.

CTOnews.com learned that iFood is the largest takeout app in Brazil, valuing the company at US $5.4 billion. After the application turns off access to the location, the iFood application can still obtain the location information of the user.

Arstechnica security writer Dan Goodin asks a lot of questions: how long has this vulnerability existed? What other applications take advantage of it? How much location data have been collected using it?

There may be many unexposed apps that use this BUG to track users' location information. It is recommended that iPhone users of CTOnews.com upgrade to iOS 16.3 as soon as possible to prevent apps from using this BUG to track you.
