Apple reacted quickly after technical reports warned that some apps were spying on phone users by recording what was on the screen.
According to TechCrunch, Apple has continued to have phone application operators who make secret registrations and asked them to remove this feature or tell users to know what's going on.
If these applications do not meet the company's request, Apple will block them at the Store Store, but technical experts have questioned the reason for the delay, because the company has not moved until the news has not caused a sensation, reported Sky News.
Apple says its privacy policy requires users to tell their downloaders what to do with their devices and data.
Two tech news websites reported Thursday that some iPhone apps were "spying" on them.
"Techcrunch" and the analyst, explained that many applications went far in the field of information gathering, and that it was to monitor all the activities displayed on the screen of the phone without informing users .
Applications include Air Canada, Abercrombie & Fitch, Expedia.
Both apps say they use an analytical program from Glassbox, which shows exactly what users are doing on their monitor, which means the ability to monitor sensitive information such as a user's credit card number.
A video showed how a user's credit card information and password are controlled when he enters them into his phone when he runs one of these applications, and that they can "spy" only when they are opened by the user.
Last year, a report on some applications running on Android phones also allowed to record what was happening on the user's screen.
