Hate to tell you but they dont need apps anymore. I was involved in a project that when you enter *big box store* their security cameras build a facial recognition based customer profile. Of course that data linked to your customer profile when you scanned your app or store card. Don't have a store card or app? Well don't worry they use your CREDIT card as a customer profile lookup as well! Ever shop online from said company they now have your name, address and all of your personal info to added to your customer profile! This is all built into their marketing systems and being used to send targeted advertising AND gather data. This is why they don't want you to use cash. They basically have all the groundwork for a social credit society but you don't know it because all of it is happening on the back end. Just take a look around the next big box store you're in and you will see 2 to 3 times more cameras. They will also be all exceedingly high quality. They look like security cameras and function as that as well. But we all know that company's don't invest millions in security equipment when insurance just pays for damages and shrink. Im off the project now but here is my specualtion: My tinfoil hat theory is they implemented a mask mandate to train these facial recognition AI's to recognize customers by other biometrics like iris or ears. So basically there is no escape from it anymore unless there is legislative action (congress can't even understand facebook so good luck explaining this and why its bad).
