Can't wait for App List Scopes, like we have with Contacts or Storage already. Not a day too early.
For a few months all the UK banks I have accounts in send the list of all apps to the mothership.
I noticed it first when suddenly Revolut refused to start up because I had an app installed, Natwest and Nationwide at least inform prior to the data collection, but weren't concerned.
It ended up with the long overdue confinement of all the banking apps in their dedicated profile, but I'd love to be able to confine them further.
You mentioned NatWest. I remember using NatWest and noticing on NoRoot Firewall (on my Android) it was 'speaking' regularly to Facebook. Of course I had all FB and IG and their IP ranges blocked from the get-go, but still. Why (TF!!!!) would my effing back telling FB that I launched their app? (one could say that they use this or that library, so the code, blah blah blah)
This is disgusting and the reason I don't use iOS. The utter lack of firewall! (plus the batterygate scandal)
