Comment on The UDID leak is a privacy catastrophe

Comments

If you disallow an app from sending you push notifications, will it still have your UDID/Device ID? Or if you never enable it, does the app & app server never get it?

Push notifications don't use the UDID. They use a different token. UDIDs can be requested without user consent by applications, although that functionality is supposedly deprecated from iOS 5 onwards.

thanks for clarifying
