alt Hacker Newswhy does Google even allow HSBC to see the list of other installed apps?
Maybe because Google and it's products have little respect for user privacy?
Have you thought about using Aurora Store? You can usually see a list of the permissions the app requires before you install.

That's incorrect. Querying installed apps has been severely restricted (and thus mostly useless) and also requires a special nuclear-scale permission since Android 11.
I am wondering what exploit HSBC is using because I really don't think they are using official APIs for this.
