You can choose the order of menu items, what different swipe gestures do, how archiving works and more. If you like your email workflow and inbox features ‘just so’, it’s worth diving in and seeing how customizable everything here is.

Microsoft’s Outlook fits that second bracket, as does Spark, a new app from popular developer Readdle. Which doesn't mean it doesn't process and store them.Īnd now everyone with an app like Readdle Apps that uses Facebook SDK might have a privacy problem.New iOS email apps these days seem split between those that want to make your inbox as simple as possible ( Mailbox, Inbox by Gmail) and those throw in as many power features as possible. Facebook says it 'processes and stores information from non-Facebook users differently than that from Facebook users'. Even if the respective Facebook users had previously made a conscious decision not to share information about these very private topics with Facebook.Īnd even if you don't have a Facebook account or never log in there from your mobile device, you still transfer the data mentioned to Facebook when you call up the apps - and Facebook apparently keeps them. The information collected about party affiliation, sexual orientation, pregnancy, religious affiliation, nicotine addiction and other health problems is used for advertising purposes. In this case, the advertising ID from the app is linked to the Facebook profile.Facebook confirms this. This is a string of numbers and letters and is unique per device, so it's pseudonymised, as Readdle says.īut: as soon as a user logs in to Facebook from the same device, even just once.

For example, it contains the time, the device model name, the IP address, the name of the app and an advertising ID. But I decided not to use it, because of the trackers like amplitude and the Facebook SDK.Īnyone who installs and calls up a corresponding app immediately starts data transmission to Facebook. I checked spark and have to say, it’s one of the best email apps.
