How is this supposed to work for insurance or banking apps? I would think those companies separate your "online account" from your actual account with them or something like that. I guess more generally how will this affect apps where "deleting your account" is a complicated affair (insurance, banking, mobile service, utilities, etc).
- floatingatoll 5y agoHow does it work today? All mobile banking apps that allow signup seem to also allow account closure, so there isn’t exactly a problem there. If I sign up for insurance in an app, I expect (and Apple will enforce) that I can cancel it in an app. Setting aside certain health insurance scenarios where I have no legal authority to terminate my insurance, I expect that Apple will absolutely start enforcing that insurance account management apps need to have a way to terminate coverage. But I think this isn’t the kind of business they’re concerned about, so they might focus on other business categories first.
