Voyager can’t open posts or display comments with it enabled, it gets stuck. Also, some user settings aren’t “remembered”. Any chance of a future fix to correct these problems? Thanks, I enjoy the app very much aside from these issues.

What you say its true, but apps having real problems with lockdown mode are few and far between. Usually cosmetic issues and that’s it.
Apple has been dropping the ball on privacy with the latest iOS releases. I thought that 14 had decent privacy. But from 15 onward, YouTube is recommending videos out of your face to face, voice, offline conversations - just like Android does, and I’m pretty selfish with app permissions already. So I enable lockdown mode, not just to harden my phone safety. But also to help a little bit in that regard.
YouTube is not using your microphone to listen to your conversations to show you ads. They don’t need to, their tracking on the web is pervasive enough without people making up fake privacy concerns. In fact, you can easily disable the mic permission.
So sad to see the pervasive misunderstanding of ad targeting :(
iOS doesn’t even allow devices access to camera/mic unless the permissions have been granted; and background process barely allows applications any time to do anything, there’s just no way for it to listen to the users in background and upload that data elsewhere.
There’s no way, you say. Yet that kind of targeted ads is precisely what happens, that’s what many users are experiencing with their phones, regardless of their microphone permissions. Big tech is being profoundly dishonest about their privacy with users, and don’t seem to stick with their own privacy legal terms. But what I’m talking about is the browser version of YouTube. not even the app.
