The White House’s dodgy app is being pushed to even more official government devices

Wait 5 sec.

TL;DRThe Department of Homeland Security has told employees that The White House app will be automatically installed on official devices.The app has several security and privacy issues, and uses third-party code.It was also automatically installed on FAA-issued devices last month.When The White House launched its eponymous app a few months ago, it was clear that there was barely any reason to install it at all. It’s a simple wrapper for The White House website, and most of the displayed information is already available from other sources. However, the US government clearly considers it useful enough to automatically install it on government devices.According to an email sent to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees and seen by Politico, The White House app will be automatically installed on all government devices (via Gizmodo).
