Motorola stops its phones from hijacking the Amazon app, which was ‘unintended’

Motorola says it fixed a Smart Feed-related bug on some U.S. phones that routed Amazon Shopping launches through a web tracking link.

That detour could attach affiliate information before the app opened, affecting how launches were handled.

The company says it has corrected the routing configuration and the behavior has stopped.

The issue raised concerns around user experience, privacy, and affiliate-marketing practices.
