Yes, I’ve noticed this. That, and the fact you can see pending transactions on the credit card but not transfers does make you realise just how good the Lloyds app is.
Also my insights don’t work. I’m one day out of switching now from Lloyds and while I don’t regret it, I do hope this gets fixed soon as it’s something I really like to have.
EDIT: so transfers in do show, but they take a little while to show whereas payments seem to show near instant.
It used to be for me too then I realised I actually don’t care past a few months since it’s on a spreadsheet (categories) and if I want to see the detail I can look at statements.
I do, but it’s very temperamental. It was rare with Lloyds you wouldn’t see a map, the opposite with HSBC. There are merchants I shopped at with Lloyds where a map would show and now doesn’t, for example.
I suspect it’s because (and I prefer them so nice to see) HSBC opts to use Apple Maps (or native if android see google).
I saw this on X as well. It’s not concerning, if you side load apps, especially password ones, then you can understand why a bank would flag this. The bank can’t verify the source of the app and in their mind it could contain a Trojan or other malware.
My suggestion for a New Year Resolution would be to let us all stop using the made up term “side loading” and go back to using the real term “installing”.
Apple and Google have somehow convinced people applications are legitimate only if installed via their own closed app stores.
Did you know both Google can be court ordered to supply you (and just you, singular) a modified version of an app (say with a backdoor) without you knowing this at all? And as Google hold the signing keys, they control the entire process. You can never know if the app has been signed by the developer or by Google.
As opposed to getting an app directly from its developer (e.g. via GitHub through Obtainium, Accrescent, Fdroid); if you trust the developer, you trust the app.
Happy New Year everyone

Who’s the other party involved? (“Did you know both Google…”)
Side loading has several advantages, including security. You just need to know the source is legit.
