T-Mobile users should be aware that some customers have found a screen recording app if they use T-Life. It can be disabled but many simply aren't aware.

T-Mobile Says It's Not Spying on You. What the New Screen Recording Tool Actually Does

I found the T-Life screen recording feature unsettling, especially since it wasn’t clearly disclosed. Even if it’s for diagnostics, users should be prompted before any such access is enabled. I disabled it right away, and I’m now more cautious with carrier apps in general. Transparency and opt-in settings should be standard—privacy can’t be treated as an afterthought.

I wonder if other phones or mobile providers have similar apps.

Do you pay for purchases by card? Do you have any store loyalty cards that grant offers like discounts? Banks, Credit Card companies and major stores are all profiling your spending habits. Furthermore, they buy and sell those profiles, all without your knowledge and consent. Privacy was consigned to life's trash when cash lost it's influence.
