Summary

  • Reports have emerged that T-Mobile has added a function in its T-Life app that enables it to record users’ phone screens.
  • While the company claims the function exists only to understand how users interact with the app, the fact it has not informed customers of the change is a cause for concern, especially given T-Mobile’s history of data leaks and hacks.
  • The feature has so far been seen on iPhones and is said to be appearing randomly even after reinstalling the app.
  • It can be switched off within the Preferences menu of the T-Life app.
  • The emergence of the feature follows hard on the heels of T-Mobile’s replacement of its previous app with the new T-Life app, which customers now must use to manage their accounts and make payments.
