According to IT Home, HSBC UK has updated its Android app rules to prevent running the HSBC UK Mobile Banking App in Samsung OneUI Secure Folder and Android's Private Space, as a security control measure. The company says running in these environments may hinder threat detection and timely fraud alerts, and users can still use the app in a normal system environment. The report notes that some users are unhappy with the change.
