Headline : Twitter will track which apps you use on your phone. 

 

Excerpt from the Link "It's no secret that Twitter has been looking for ways to put more targeted ads in your social feed, but its latest approach may make you uncomfortable if you jealously protect your privacy. The service has revealed that its app will start tracking which apps you have installed on your device in order to improve the relevance of both ads and other content that slips into your tweet stream, such as favorites. Twitter is adamant that it's not collecting data from within apps, and will let you know when the monitoring kicks in"

 

 

My thoughts : 

 

Not sure if Im thrilled they are putting this in place. Theirs enough companies already song this to push ad's 😞

Totally don't agree with this. What is on my phone is my choice and I should have control about who looks inside it.

If this is the case Twitter goes.

Thanks for the information @Anonymous 

Too many apps are full of ads.  I have the Daily Mail app and I can't even read one article without an ad coming up about 3 times.

I don't like the idea of Twitter being able to view my other installed apps.
