Glad Apple took action here. Now only if they focused on the VPN issue too.

What vpn issue

I don’t have the links handy on mobile right now away from my desk. Hopefully someone else can chime in and explain.

Are you talking about them bypassing the VPN for Apple connections?

Yes. This issue. And that kill switch doesn’t really work on iOS as it is fully intended to work by design. I believe that’s still an issue.

In other words, whatever the reason was for IVPN to remove the kill switch from their all on iOS. Removal of kill switch from our iOS app due to Apple IP leak issue

that IVPN post is from 2023 :S
It’s still an open issue? Did Apple even address it?

No, Apple did not fix it. Hence my first comment.

I think that problem has existed for a long time. Sadly, Apple has never taken this issue seriously. I don’t have any confidence it’ll ever get fixed.

So, after the app is deleted and not before. If a notification is dismissed/acted upon, why not expunge immediately. Or at least very soon…
