Not only is it a privacy and security issue, it’s also an accessibility issue. Maybe I’m using my desktop to access your website where I can ctrl+ to increase font size, but your shitty unreadable phone app has made zero effort to support accessibility.
It’s particularly annoying for services like DoorDash, instacart, or uber, where some users are specifically using those services due to accessibility issues.
Most accessibility options are already baked into the OS. There should be no need to configure anything related inside the App. You'd have to implement responsive design though, which is not only an accessibility problem but should be common sense by now.
Many apps do not respect the text size settings set in the OS. And if they do, they render poorly. And using full screen zoom from the OS is not a good option.
Yeah I tried increasing the font size in my phone settings, the result is that in most app half of the words just disappear. They still only get the space allotted to them in the app and if they exceed those dimensions, that's just too fucking bad.
Those companies are literally only the man in the middle, in every sense
