The Passwords app now categorizes the network requests to download the icons as "websites visited in app" and this way the number of requests sent isn't included in the main count in the #privacy report.
This new categorization makes the requests less visible to privacy-conscious as the app won't show spikes of 130+ requests as we demonstrated before in iOS 18 and iOS 18.2. However the app is clearly making those requests directly as shown in the network traffic.

We realized this behavior first on a device running #iOS 18.3. Surprisingly, devices running iOS 18.1.1 and 18.2.1 also showed the new behavior.
iOS still doesn't provide an option to disable downloading the icons, which is the best way to tackle this issue.
