Apple is cracking down on apps that secretly record your screen activity. A TechCrunch investigation revealed that many companies like Expedia, Hollister and Hotels.com are using a third-party analytics tool in their apps that lets them record users' screen activity. App developers record the screen and play them back to see what people did in the app to see what people liked, disliked, or if an error occurred. This means that every tap, button push and keyboard entry is recorded, screenshotted and sent back to the app developers. The report found popular companies like Expedia, Hollister and Hotels.com were using an analytics tool to record screen activity in their apps.
