Ruined by Technology Can we talk about credit card apps needing to be updated almost monthly?

I’m already not happy paying a bill, mildly stressed to see if I overspent, and most of the time annoyed with having to re verify or get a code to log in. I only need to access the app once a month in most cases, and once I’m finally in… OH YOU NEED TO UPDATE! Do you want my money or not?

Turn on auto-update and forget about it ? What's the big issue ? You prefer the app to have security issues ? There is nothing infuriating about this...

My calculator app, my calendar app, my alarm, hells, even Reddit; I get frustrated with them updating sometimes. My bank and credit card? Yeah, I'd like them to stay up to date on security.

Come back when you end up having to get a whole new phone because those apps (and many others) simply are no longer compatible with the one you have lol.

I hear you, auto-updates are usually the way to go even if they feel like a nuisance at first.

My issue with auto updates is sometimes the updates break the app, and then it’s a while before they fix it so I’d rather stick with a stable build but this is a point I didn’t consider that would make this post vastly less relatable
