The bird got its bugs.
On Monday, Twitterdisclosed a privacy bug that collected an account’s location information on iOS devices, even if it didn’t have its precise location tracking feature turned on. The social network was also sharing that location data with an advertising partner, the company said in a statement.
The bug affected you if you had more than one Twitter account logged in on its iOS app and had the precise location feature enabled. If you had it enabled on one account on the app, the bug would also trigger it for all the other accounts logged in on that device, Twitter said.
« We have fixed this problem and are working hard to make sure it does not happen again, » Twitter said in its statement.
