Spotify wrapped started this trend seems other apps are following through. Seeing a summary of things you did with there app. Kind of gives you a hint how much other things are being tracked.

    I doubt it.

    The kind of data used for “wrapped” type summaries are usually the kind of data that users want to be tracked because it powers features they want.

    Like Spotify wrapped is based of Spotify play history, and being able to see your recently played songs is a feature people want.

    Duolingo wrapped is based on lesson progress, and it has to track your progress else it doesn’t know what lesson you’re doing.

    idk what other apps do this, it’s pretty rare for me, but afaict it’s all just normal stuff.

    Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of privacy problems that apps try to fuck with, but I don’t think that yearly wrapped is likely to be one of them.

      Yeah I don’t mind apps keeping track of how I’ve been using them. But if duolingo tells me where my friend got married and congratulates me on keeping my streak through that then we’re gonna have some concerns
