Seems to just be the US so far, other countries still have it

Still on there here in Australia.

What's your source for it disappearing from phones for US users? Can any US users that I trust and follow confirm? I doubt it highly due to the mess it would create.

I’ve had apps disappear from my phone automatically and it pissed me off to no end. Thats when i permanently cut off auto update. Couldn’t fucking believe they would do that.

I don’t have confirmation that this happened with WOS, but someone suggested it and I figure overly paranoid is better than waiting to hear about it.

I also moved my $4 to a BTCPayServer :D

I doubt the auto-update relates to auto-removals. The former is something mostly controlled by the provider while the latter cannot be triggered by the provider and probably only gets triggered by the platform after very careful deliberation.

Possibly, but the auto update was related to when this happened specifically to me in the past. Maybe it was a fluke or only certain apps act this way. I have little concrete details, but the very notion is creepy and anything that may affect the default should be tried, imo.

I’d be far happier to have to look foolish for being paranoid than see people lose sats because I was dismissive.

So I guess it’s withdraw first, THEN turn off auto update 😆

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve shut it off. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202180

Not your build?

Not your binary

Sucks! Had my kids all set up with WoS to pay them for chores and whatnot. Moved them all to muun this evening. Honestly didn’t take that long at all.

So what happens to the app if we already have the app??

Most likely nothing if you cut off all the automatic configuration/update options. I used Damus for ages after zaps got removed without updating.

Concerned about my sats sitting w custodian wallet but what is the alternative for apple users. Strike? Cash app?

If the app gets deleted, do the keys get lost along with the Bitcoin? I don't see a way of exporting a recovery phrase from the app.

It’s a custodial app. Move the sats to a non custodial app if you want to secure them

You can ad an email address, that's your recovery with WoS.

Still haven't migrated to #GrapheneOS, anon?

Will take much more than WoS getting banned to move the needle for most. Maybe when ppl pay in sats for most of their purchases they will make the move

It’s still available to download in purchase history on iOS

Interesting the lack of communication on their end. Not a user. Just interesting.

I had 2000 sats from my THNDRGAMES efforts. Can’t retire on it, but I wanted it! I was still able to withdraw to a Phoenix wallet.
