中国反诈中心app强迫用户安装的报告 English version
China is forcing Chinese to use National Anti-fraud Center app developed by Ministry of public security (China)
The app named National Anti-fraud Center is developed by Ministry of public security (China). Its rating rated by over 5000 users on Apple Store is 1.6 (April 9[sup]th[/sup], 2021).
National Anti-fraud Center app requires some sensitive permissions: microphone, camera, contacts, SMS, phone call, call log, internet access, system changing, package installation, package removal, storage, etc.
Name, phone number, ID number, address and face recognition are needed to create an account on the app.
I have checked all reviews about it on Apple Store.
433 users mentioned they were forced to use the app. Most users complained about their bad experiences with the app. A user said those who rated one star are probably scammers. Because if every Chinese uses the app, scammers will not fool anyone.
Some examples from Apple Store about why people use the app are as follows:
A user named PolarBearGC said he/she was asked to create an account on the app before a driver theory test.
A user named Calvin-C said he/she could not go to a concert, unless he/she is using the app.
