⚡️⚠️🇬🇧 ALERT - Check your phones.

The British government is installing apps on your phone without you even knowing.

This app 'Gov UK ID check' has been randomly showing up on people's phones without them installing it

Apparently, it is an authenticator app that the UK government has now re branded as a digital ID app and has secretly added it to millions of devices❗️

🗣️ Testimony : If you can see the “GOV-UK ID check” app, you might want to remove the app. It appeared overnight on my phone automatically

If enough people report it as malicious, Google will remove it.

Remember when everyone in China woke up with the Covid Travel app on their phone?

No, they're unprivileged apps unlike the stock OS. If it made a request to install such an app from there (not documented to happen like that, they'd just bundle with the OS instead), you'd see the attempt and needs you to confirm it anyway.

We won't be bundling any apps like this. It's up to users' choice to install... whatever that is
