     Chris later mentioned that he doesn't use an app on his phone, but   
   (probably the Temu website on) his computer. So no 'app' and only a   
   browser. Same as I do 'all' my online shopping (of course not at Temu,   
   nor at any other Chinese webshop/company). Even for my main trusted   
   electronics, electrics, etc. supplier, I use their website on my laptop,   
   safer and more convenient (large screen/keyboard).   
      
     The only company-specific apps I use on my phone, are those which I   
   trust, i.e. airlines, hotel-booking, etc..
