I meant "of course Facebook doesn't [use Safari View Controller]". WebView ≠ Safari View Controller.

Safari View Controller keeps the users cookies from Safari and prevents this behavior. For most apps, keeping users logged in without leaving the app is preferred, so they give up the ability to inspect the contents of the page.



Sorry, rereading your comment that's exactly what you said and I just misread!


> Safari View Controller keeps the users cookies from Safari

It does not, because apps decided to abuse it for fingerprinting.
