5. 1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing

Hello,

In the Whatsapp application, I designed an application that shows the online status of people with their number and sends notifications. There are many such apps in the app store. But I am facing a problem while publishing my app.



We noticed that your app collects information about the user’s friends, contacts, or other third-party persons without the knowledge or consent of those parties.

Specifically, your app tracks other users' online status on a third party app without proper consent.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please remove any features that collect personal third-party user data from your app.

Apple review team keeps telling me you should remove tracking feature. That hasn't changed even though I said this is the main purpose of the app. I didn't fully understand what to do. When adding numbers for users to follow, I send him a code and start tracking with a verification code.

Hi @gksnanl, any update on this? what should we do?

my problem still persists.
