It uses WKWebView I assume.

It might also be using a SFSafariViewController, which would share cookies with the native Safari instance... My original intention for capturing webview was to know if cookies and other data would consistently silo/delete from the source. Perhaps we need some new labels/detections here...

I think since that user agent is the same as the user agent of native Safari, they are either using the SFSafariViewController or spoofing the user-agent by just changing the ua value to look like native Safari. Just to double check, are you seeing a different user-agent on that device on native Safari? If it is indeed the same string, we wouldn't want to call that a webview so I would say we just can't address it without more robust detection than user-agent string parsing.
