The HSBC UK Android app look s at what apps you have, and refuses to run if you have apps with certain permissions (such as an alternative launcher) and now refuses to run if you have any apps from outside the Google app store.

- odiroot 2y agoInterestingly FirstDirect app (also part of HSBC) has no such problems. It even ran on my previously rooted phone.

- fudged71 2y agoThat's pretty funny, right? They have to spy on you to tell you what else you are using could be spying on you. Do they happen to say this data is not transmitted to the company?
