T-Mobile Might Be Recording Your Phone's Screen: Here's How to Check
1 min read
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.
