tl;dr: Installing and logging into the Cursor iOS app silently migrated the user's account from "Privacy Mode (Legacy)" (no code storage) to the newer, weaker "Privacy Mode" that permits code storage for background agents. Cursor support confirmed the change is irreversible—the legacy option has been removed from all menus and cannot be restored. The user warns others to avoid the iOS app if they want to preserve stricter privacy settings. | |
