I suspect that what happens, during this "daily checkin," is that the app sends a bunch of encrypted data that it got from your device, to the servers in China.

What information do you think they got from your device other than what you gave them permission to have? If you actually have any info on how apps can break Apple's sandbox to leak your personal info, you should share it.

Yeah, it's OK. I said that I wouldn't argue, and I'm sticking to that.

Have a great day!

Just thought I'd help you understand how this works so you don't spread misinformation, but you too!

This remark is overly condescending.

Maybe you should first make sure you fully understand it yourself.
