Installing Cursor on iOS irreversibly changes your privacy settings

Tell HN: Installing Cursor on iOS irreversibly changes your privacy settings

A user reports that installing and logging into the Cursor iOS app silently switches your account from the old 'do not store my code' privacy mode to a newer, looser one. The new mode allows code storage for background agents and other features. Once switched, the legacy option disappears from all menus. Support confirmed they can't revert it. At least two users have confirmed the same trap. If you care about code privacy, avoid the iOS app for now.

Why it matters: A user reports that installing Cursor on iOS silently migrates accounts from a strict legacy privacy mode to a looser one, with no rollback option confirmed by support. This is a concrete privacy design flaw with direct relevance to code-privacy-conscious developers. Score cap...
