Why do you even need the United app? They have a website.

This is why whenever you try to do anything significant on a web site with a phone, they tell you to "Download our app". Detection is very good now. Slack can see right through desktop mode, cheater, and will redirect you to the app regardless.

  • Never had that issue on Vanadium browser, or Brave or even Firefox. I personally refuse to download an app if there is a website for the same. For a long time I was even using door dash in browser.

Boarding pass. For the airline apps, it probably is a good assumption that most people want to get a notification that their flight is delayed, or started boarding, etc..

  • They don't advertise it, but you can many times add the Apple Wallet pass from the website. And it actually sends you flight change notifications too.

    • Unfortunately the Apple wallet boarding pass is often out of date with any gate changes. The app will update immediately.
