Description

While browsing around for fun I made a small edit in the Android Wikipedia app. After saving I realized I hadn't actually logged in with the app... Going over to the history page confirms that I was not logged in, and whatever IP address I was on was exposed.

In the web interface there is a fairly prominent warning for this case.
