I love it. See how important it is to keep a closed store, for security!

But honestly no malicious app is probability worse than the genuine article anyway.

Frankly this is a damn good legal argument if Apple tries to claim in court that only they can keep people safe.

It is actually better with your privacy

Ikr? That's honestly the most offensive thing about it.

When MFs can't do lyrics right...

You'd think the Apple review process would prevent these kind of things.

it needs apple seal of approval to even exist in their eco, so it must the real deal!

Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.

The 4+ age is like for videogames ESRB and PEGI, it’s not the age of how long the app has been in the App Store

It surprises me how poor people's technology literacy is, when they see an app with a completely skewed logo and think, "It's probably the real deal."

There really needs to be some form of education in this area...

They've decided yet another service from Zuck is a good idea. We're not dealing with geniuses here

[–] samokosik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That’s literally not the official one. At least it collects less data. Anyone has experience with what it does? Just connects to fediverse?

Think it's the recommended age for a user mate. 4 years or older. Like age restrictions om movies and video games

Meanwhile, a lot of other apps have β€œnot affiliated with Instagram” as a disclaimer as their first line of the description. I was wondering if Apple requires it or even automated it somehow. Screenshot

Time for somebody to make an EU-exclusive Mastodon instance called realthreads.legit and put it up on app stores. The real way to grow the fediverse in a hurry is to trick people into it. /s
