Respectfully, I’ve been working in government for nearly 20 years. I know what my limits are and what I can get away with. I never signed any acknowledgement that I would keep the app on the phone. Worst case scenario and extremely unlikely to happen, they somehow notice it’s missing from my phone and ask me about it. “Oh, my bad. Didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to remove it.”
As I have one for work which is not my personal phone. And it is totally enterprise-managed so they put whatever apps they want on it and block anything they want. It’s their phone essentially. This headline seems like a nothingburger to me.

So like the phones of his secret service detail? I’m waiting for it to be announced that it’ll be bundled into the Trump phone.
For what it’s worth, I saw that it had been installed on my government issued phone this morning and was able to simply uninstall it.
Some people won’t have admin control rights to do that. And by uninstalling it you are in violation of an executive order.
I also ignored the DOGE emails last year and I’m still around. I’m honestly not the least bit concerned.
You’d probably win a suit for the termination suit

Sorry, it looks like voice to text messed up my reply. I have fixed it.
If they were competent, it could be an issue, maybe…
