Around 2015, My niece told me she worked at a bank teller and the first thing they did was require her to install the bank’s app and rate it five stars. She said her phone is too old and they got angry. And she’d tell me they’d do “phone sweeps” to see if the app was on people’s phones.

I still wear a mask too. But mainly for privacy reasons.
Nord sells masks now?
Also, the app is probably poorly designed, doesn’t support dark mode, and is probably very slow even on the latest iPhone.
iPhone defaultism is such an american cliche
