There’s a permission for Location at least, “In App Web Browsing” can have that permission disabled. Web Views don’t seem to have similar treatment otherwise, afaict. I’d sandbox them aggressively if I could .
I use Adguard which has a Safari integration that appears to apply to Web Views (based on the absence of ads), though I don’t have proof of that.

I have been wondering about this for a couple years now. Do Safari content filters apply to app WebViews? I assumed not.
Can any iOS dev chime in? I don't have have a modern Mac and dev account to test this at this time.
