Voyager can’t open posts or display comments with it enabled, it gets stuck. Also, some user settings aren’t “remembered”. Any chance of a future fix to correct these problems? Thanks, I enjoy the app very much aside from these issues.

    YouTube is not using your microphone to listen to your conversations to show you ads. They don’t need to, their tracking on the web is pervasive enough without people making up fake privacy concerns. In fact, you can easily disable the mic permission.

      So sad to see the pervasive misunderstanding of ad targeting :(

      iOS doesn’t even allow devices access to camera/mic unless the permissions have been granted; and background process barely allows applications any time to do anything, there’s just no way for it to listen to the users in background and upload that data elsewhere.
