Jumbo for iPhone is a powerful privacy assistant made by the founder of Sunrise

Jumbo promises to make it easy to take back control of your data, privacy and security by making it easy to clean up your social profiles with just a few taps, all from within one app.

Jumbo scans apps you use and your social profiles on Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon and the dark web to provide actionable recommendations that increase your online privacy and security. Instagram, LinkedIn and other services are coming by way of future updates.

For instance, you may be prompted that Facebook has face recognition turned on for your account. Your can also stop tracking across social profiles with just a few taps. And, Jumbo does all that in a responsible manner that respects user privacy — it scans data from your iPhone and process it on-device without storing your precious personal information on servers.

You can have Jumbo automatically adjust as many as thirty privacy settings on Facebook, but that’s barely scratching the surface because this app also makes it a cinch to delete old tweets that may haunt you when applying for jobs. Jumbo can make new tweets ephemeral, plus clean old Google searches from your account, erase your Amazon Alexa requests and more.

It’s great seeing that a plethora of advanced features are already been worked on, which shows that a privacy-first app such as Jumbo definitely resonates with people. I would suggest building a web interface for Jumbo so that anyone could use it.
