Third party keyboards no longer accepted by HSBC's banking app.
In a recent update to the HSBC app they've added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.
They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you've happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).
I haven't found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.
You're viewing a single thread.
Considering that HSBC is remarkably evil, even compared to other major international banking corporations, this might be a good nudge to stop doing business with them.
You would have to be extremely evil to be a far comparison to any other bank.
Thats impressive.
