Baidu Netdisk Accused of Bypassing iOS Shake Restrictions; Insiders Say It Wasn't Intentional, Just an Unupdated Version
Following the launch of the "Limit App Tracking" feature in Apple's official iOS 27.2 update, some users reported that Baidu Netdisk's "shake-to-open" splash-screen ads can still redirect them. An informed source clarified that Baidu Netdisk did not intentionally bypass the feature. Instead, the new version has yet to pass Apple's App Store review. The adaptation is complete, and an update is expected within the next couple of days.
Baidu Netdisk is accused of bypassing iOS's shake-to-trigger restrictions. An insider responded that it was not a deliberate bypass, but rather that the current version has not yet been updated.
Apple's official iOS 27.2 release introduced a "Limit App Tracking" feature to prevent apps from triggering ad redirects by shaking the phone. Some users reported that after adding Baidu Netdisk to the restricted list, its "shake-to-open" splash screen ads could still redirect them, leading to suspicions that Baidu Netdisk was intentionally circumventing the system restriction.
In response, an informed source told the media that Baidu Netdisk's business team did not deliberately bypass the feature. Instead, due to Apple's strict App Store review process, the new version of Baidu Netdisk has not yet been approved. The new version has completed the necessary feature adaptations, and users are expected to be able to update to it within the next couple of days, or possibly even today.
