As a currently totally “normal user” - no root, stock OS, I would have been screwed by this security while travelling
Driving in Italy you need to know about ZTL zones - places cars are secretly restricted in - and there’s an app for that, but the app is only useful for drivers in Italy and if your phone doesn’t default to the Italian play store you can’t see it
Your only option is to side load it
It would be no fun to get your phone working with ZTLs only to lose access to your bank apps
so that’s actually a decrease in security for the actual user who owns the device.
of course Another way to track you
Android peaked with version 9.
Fuck Google. Hopefully Magisk & modules will find a way to keep hiding root from crappy bank apps.
I see you wrote “& modules”, because you certainly know where Magisk developer works and why he removed the option to hide it from other apps. It’s just hopeless. It’s just a matter of time until this kind of crap gets into the legislation in the name of security.
