After a recent forced update, I can no longer login to my bank account, the app brings up google play and expects me to login to gplay for what ever reason,I am not logged into that cancer on my phone, so now I am fuming and don’t want to be forced to make a google account on the phone. (by the way I have been using aurora to avoid gplay)
I am hoping someone has a some trick or app to bypass this ? I have talked to the bank but there is nothing they can do for just one weird customer !
Everything is going to shit in this dystopian technocracy
very hard to change the bank when alot of payment accounts are linked to it.
they have moved most of the features to the app the web portal is very barebone.
My bank did the same… except not really. A bunch of functions still opens in the browser, but you can only get to them via the app, not directly using just the browser.
Another option for you would just be “buy a secondhand cheap phone for banking and nothing else”
That’s what I ended up doing. I don’t want any of that shit in my daily driver.
very hard to degoogle your phone/life. sounds like youre willing to put some work in…
It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they’ve done this, what’s the likelihood that they’ll do something even worse later?
my concern is what if after all the hassle the next bank pulls the same act ? and the next one !
“my concern about leaving my abusive partner is what if after all the hassle the next one pulls the same act ? and the next one !”
There are many banks and (better yet) credit unions. Not all of them are awful. Be brave. Take action.
That’s a valid concern.
Acting on your principles isn’t always easy.
What are a lot of payment accounts?
If I had too many services I pay for, I’d try reducing that as well. Less is more for me.
