You are correct. App is the name of a program. I was on the internet when it was 13 sites with no color. Green screens only. I remember when they started calling programs apps. Short for application. Don't be fooled by silly words. Bottom line is it doesn't matter. Just a fact that surprised me. It is the least of worries if you choose to worry. Wasted energy. If you really want to know what is happening just save your log files and analyze them
Sadly, it will change over time.
Nothing special to a phone,
but it will eventually be that way.

Ok if you read the entire article and analyze Lightroom you will see it is true. Try to use it without the internet. Opps won't work. Then read your log files and see what is going up and down. It is very simple to see what is happening. I'm not knocking anything. Just surprised Lightroom is on the band wagon. So what. It can't be beat anyway. You are using a browser and a phone. Game over.
Again, LR Classic is not a phone based, browser-based piece of software. To say otherwise is incorrect. Or, you have the wrong LR software installed onto your desktop / laptop. If 'yes', that's a problem of your own making that you should take immediate actions to correct.
The gist of the article is anything you run on your phone, even sites you need to pay to use, will collect a surprising amount of data about you. No argument there. But, to lump a catch-all "Lightroom" as an overall product into this mix is false. If you use the classic software, you would know this, including knowing it is not dependent upon access to the internet to run. It does need to 'phone home' at least monthly to check for updates and to verify your subscription status, but this is not the same thing as harvesting your search history and contacts.

For those non believers just save your log files from your desktop or laptop and read the damn things. Don't care what you think or believe. Read the darn log files.

I thought "app" was an abbreviation for "application", which is another word for program, like Lr, Excel, Word, Komodo, Firefox, ... .
Is it now restricted to what runs on phones???
