TikTok users are frightened and confused as to why the viral video app is demanding they input their iPhone password to view content.
Even more concerning, experts say the reasons why TikTok — which had reportedly been caught red-handed spying on journalists in the past — remains unclear.
It was also around this timeframe that Apple released two urgent security updates for iPhone and other product users.
The more recent iOS update, which rolled out on Dec. 11, patched a bug that allowed access to sensitive user data.
Experts warn it’s almost always a bad idea, especially under these circumstances, to share your password due to glaring security risks and easy exposure to phishing attempts.
