Meh.

Context: we're migrating to MS cloud services at work from Google so everyone is setting up accounts, authenticators etc. Pretty seamless migration overall btw, guess our admins worked like dogs.

So I post this screenshot in a work chat as a warning (that's why i still have it). All my Android using colleagues tell me "it's the same in the Play Store, watch what you click."

So it really is normal, wherever you go. We're not even surprised about it, let alone outraged.

		Or maybe Apple lost. I haven't used their store for application discovery since i had an iPad 1 and it was the latest model.
