However what happens here is that many App developers are storing some sort of unique strings in the local keychain that only they can decipher to identify users. The problem still exists today, unless Apple one day decides to delete all entries inserted by an App from the keychain when the App is uninstalled. That's what was once introduced but later reverted around IOS 10.3. | |
