   "Apple has been exposing users' porn habits for years"

   porn-habits/   
      
   "Apple continues to prove that in some ways, it?s way   
   behind other phone makers. Users have encountered   
   troubling and embarrassing issues with the iPhone?s   
   interface for years.   
      
   It?s estimated that there are roughly 1.5 billion iPhone   
   users worldwide in 2025, with 150 to 160 million people in   
   the US using iPhones, according to BankMyCell.   
      
   While the global share of Android users is estimated to be   
   almost double that of iPhone users (3.9 to 4.5 billion),   
   Apple still continues to dominate the US and other Western   
   markets.   
      
   This is despite Android phones, such as those from Google   
   and Samsung, being far superior in contemporary functions   
   like AI, as some Reddit users have pointed out. Users have   
   presented troubling issues with the iPhone's interface for   
   years, with most of them relating to pornography use.   
      
   Much like Apple Intelligence prioritizing phishing emails,   
   iPhones seem to be prioritizing the wrong things when it   
   comes to their functionality.   
      
   One X user re-posted a Reddit post, which Cybernews could   
   not verify or locate, that showed an iOS user struggling   
   with an embarrassing problem.   
      
   ?How to fix? Won?t go away, no tabs open,? the post reads.   
      
      
   The supposed Reddit user, ?TheCuriousWizard3,? attached an   
   image that shows the screen of what appears to be a   
   relatively new iPhone model with the PornHub logo affixed   
   to the top of the interface.   
      
   The PornHub logo has appeared in Apple?s ?Dynamic Island,?   
   which was introduced on newer iPhone models (iPhone 14 Pro   
   and above).   
      
   The Dynamic Island appears when apps are in use and takes   
   the form of a pill shape on top of the screen.   
      
   Users ?can check alerts and Live Activities, such as a   
   Voice Memo recording in progress, an AirDrop connection,   
   and directions from Maps, in the Dynamic Island at the top   
   of the Home Screen or at the top of the active app,? Apple   
   said.   
      
   While many X users in the comments section speculated   
   whether this Reddit post was legitimate, it does   
   demonstrate a wider issue that has been ongoing for years.   
      
   Apple is still behind, despite its popularity, and its   
   buggy iOS operating system continues to let users down.

   One man?s ?Now Playing? porn problem   
   Apple?s devices don?t seem to filter out sensitive content   
   from users' devices, such as the ?Now Playing? feature and   
   its ?Screen Time? function.   
      
   Back in 2023, LADBible reported that a man was struggling   
   with an embarrassing issue.   
      
   The iPhone user?s device was stuck showing explicit videos   
   on its lock screen in the ?Now Playing? feature, even when   
   the device wasn?t playing the video.   
      
   The user wrote to Reddit users saying, ?So I watched a   
   type of video on my phone a few days ago. It is no longer   
   open in any web browser, it is not saved on my phone, yet   
   every now and then, when my Bluetooth connects, this s**t   
   pops up on my Home Screen. Any idea why it?s doing that??   
      
   Many people came to the man?s aid, giving various   
   solutions like playing another form of content or updating   
   the iPhone's software.   
      
   It?s unclear as to whether updating his device resolved   
   the issue, but Apple?s prolific porn issue continues   
   beyond just the ?Now Playing? feature.   
      
   Pornhub   
   Porn showing up on ?Screen Time?   
   Even earlier in 2021, one Reddit user reported that their   
   iPhone was recording hours and hours of porn use.   
      
   ?How can I stop this? My phone is constantly tracking it,   
   as if I?m on it 24/7, when I only used the site for like   
   10 minutes a week ago. I?ve closed apps and windows and   
   deleted cookies and everything. Even set limits, but   
   nothing works,? the Reddit user said.   
      
      
   The possible bug made it look like the user watched over   
   100 hours of pornography in a week.   
      
   Another Reddit user posted asking, ?What?s wrong with my   
   screentime?? which obviously shows that the user had been   
   on the popular porn site PornHub.   
      
   While it only seems to have been for three seconds, these   
   sites continue to pop up on users? iPhones in   
   uncomfortable ways.   
      
   Cybernews has reached out to Apple for comment.   
      
   Do Android users experience the same embarrassing issue?   
   Cybernews uncovered that this issue isn?t exclusive to   
   Apple users, as Android?s ?Screen Time? feature also seems   
   to log users' porn habits.   
      
   One Reddit user also took to the platform to ask fellow   
   Redditors how to deal with this ?Screen Time? porn   
   problem.   
      
   ?Successfully reduced screentime.... Just need help with   
   porn,? said the user, who seemed to suggest that their   
   Android device is still recording their pornography use.   
      
      
   While this doesn?t seem exclusive to Apple, the tech giant   
   seems not to be so discreet when it comes to users   
   watching porn."
