Apple warning to iPhone users should be an alert for ALL

No matter what device you are using, as long as you are connected you are being surveilled, followed, information copied.

There's software that promises blocking, but expect none to be 100%, 

Most information is used for advertising purposes.

Then of course you have to understand 'TINGLISH.' 

In this case 'cook the traffic surface.'
