Consumer report warns your air fryer could be spying on you — what you need to know

Summary

70% Informative

A new report from U.K. consumer advocacy group Which? finds smart air fryers are asking to access data.

Three Chinese air fryer brands, Xiaomi, Tencent and Aigostar , were seeking permission to record audio from users' phones when setting up their new app-compatible gadgets.

All of the devices tested in the report, including smart watches and speakers, wanted to know precise location data.

Smart air fryers offer tailored recipes and reminders to shake your food midway through cooking.

If you're concerned that you may have shared more than you'd like with a smart appliance, you can take a look at the permissions required before downloading an app.

You can also deny access to location settings, camera, voice recordings and other data.
