Getting Your iPhone Repaired Could Ban You From Snapchat
Getting Your iPhone Repaired Could Ban You From Snapchat
One person found an annoying catch with AppleCare device replacements.
Good. Snapchat is and always has been such a garbage and useless app.
Gosh that's sucks people on iPhone using Snapchat.
Says a guy on an android that doesn't even know what Snapchat does.
Apple urges developers to not use DeviceCheck for anything beyond basic device verification, and if you're a developer that's also misusing it, then you should definitely cease that—there are probably more reliable ways to check whether it's the same user trying to access an account from a device or not.
Sounds reasonable…
But then, why would you use it?
For example, you might use this data to identify devices that have already taken advantage of a promotional offer that you provide, or to flag a device that you’ve determined to be fraudulent.
Oh, ok. Wait, what? But…
Factory reset doesn't delete persistent app data enabled by app developer [paraphrased]
What about Erase All Content and Settings? You seriously can't fully erase a second-hand phone you bought?! That's insane
I can’t see what was posted above anymore, but the DeviceCheck API lets app developers store 2 binary digits (that means 4 different states: 00, 01, 10 or 11) per device on Apple’s servers. So, no, these don’t get erased during a Factory Reset as they’re stored on Apple’s servers. But your phone will.

I don’t think I care about not being able to erase the device ID. It seems useful to have this, actually, for back-tracing if need be.
Snapchat probs shouldn’t use the DeviceCheck services improperly. But hey, that’s just like my opinion, man.
More, not very interesting, info on DeviceCheck services here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck
What's even worse is that Apple is not fully erasing the phones that they refurbish.
What's worse than that is that Apple isn't even deleting the photos that you delete.
APPLE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AMD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY
One more great reason not to use Apple phones.
Maybe a reason not to use Snapchat?
Both is good
What good will they do when all Android manufacturers are trying to copy iPhone? No headphone jack, no expandable memory, no removable battery.
I'd rather buy an iPhone instead of a shitty clone that won't receive updates after 3 years.
Snapchat or iPhones? How about I take none?
I wonder if this is related to the issue with old deleted photo re-appearing.
Sounds more like Apple makes a MAC like string that identifies an iPhone and Snap is creating a database of IDs against Apples wishes.
sorry i meant to reply to another comment under this.
