New research from NowSecure tested 50,000 mobile apps in August and finds over 77 percent contain common forms of PII. It’s well known that the vast majority of mobile apps are built using third-party components like SDKs. Since August 2025, 75 percent of iOS apps and 70 percent of Android apps tested (25,000) have both sensitive data and tracking domains, meaning they collect, store, or transmit, and/or share sensitive data with third parties. Of 183,000 mobile apps scanned in 2025, 18.3 percent (33,396 apps) use artificial intelligence and 3,541 send data to AI endpoints which introduces privacy and security risks including sensitive data leakage and loss of IP. To address these issues NowSecure is launching NowSecure Privacy to enable organizations to analyze, detect, and eliminate privacy leaks across both first-party and third-party mobile apps before they become breaches and public incidents.
