In fact, there is no assurance as to what Apple does with these messages. Siri transmits metadata about installed and active apps without the user’s ability to control these privacy settings. Audio playback metadata such as ‘recording names’, is sent without consent. No user control or visibility exists over these background data flows.

Over time, Kovalskyy—who co-owned a regional internet service provider before the war—and his crew have learned to perform adjustments to Starlink terminals, especially to adapt them for battlefield conditions.
