it's both

Analysis of four billion Discover-Tech bidding records shows that during a four-month period, the company’s ads were shown on almost 200,000 unique websites and Android/iOS apps in dozens of countries.

    They say iOS and Android, but they don't say which OS can be infected.

    Customers can use Controlium to select a user for infection or profiling based on their mobile advertising identifier

    That too. There are no details that say "[iOS/Android] is vulerable to 0-click RCE" and there are no details about which OSes are vulerable. It would be great if they mentioned any of those details at all, even if just to say that they do not have those details. Instead we're left with FUD.

    I don't get it, Android and iOS are OSes, the article I linked says both are vulnerable, are you reading the main article ?

    I don't see anything that says either are vulnerable. The closest I can find is "exploit vulnerabilities across numerous mobile carriers". The CVEs they list are for Chrome, Windows Kernel, and Microsoft Office.
