Why is my iPhone connecting to TikTok, Amazon and Aliexpress?


After a HN post two days ago, I've installed NextDNS on my iPhone and started noticing random connection requests to *.aliexpress.com, live.musical.ly, amazon.sa and others.

What made me wonder is that a) I don't have "background app refresh" enabled, b) No app from TikTok, AliExpress or Amazon is installed and c) I had the phone locked ("standby") during the whole time.

Does anyone know what might be happening here?

It could be another app making these requests.
