The UK government "settled status" application procedure for EU nationals resident after Brexit was only available as an Android app. Otherwise you had to apply in person at a specific site.

It should have been a website. Why on earth was it an app? Presumably so it could spy on the other data on your phone.
So it could read the RFID tag in the passport.
