Apps on iOS are allowed to communicate and share data so long as they are published by the same developer.

On top of this keychain stores logins by domain. Even if an app is in a different developer’s container you can retrieve the credentials with just a couple taps.

I didn't know that, can they share logins across apps?

E.g. if I'm logged into Google Spreadsheets, am I also logged into Google Docs automatically?

Yes all apps by the same developer have a shared container.
