Nice! But also sad that this is the only way one can keep running a desired app in this day where an external corporation controls what one is allowed to use.
- tshaddox 6y agoI don’t think that apps on iPhones stop working just because the app was removed from from the store. You wouldn’t be able to get the app on a new phone, of course, but the old installed app should keep working. The comment might have been thinking of remotely-triggered app removal, which I believe is a rarely used function.
