⦁ Removing or swapping the SIM will immediately block app access until re-verification.
⦁ Users must re-verify their SIM every 90 days.
⦁ Web versions will log users out every 6 hours, requiring a QR code scan to log back in.

Phone makers are thinking about bringing back microSD card slots because built-in phone storage is getting more expensive due to AI features and supply problems. Adding microSD cards lets you easily add more space for photos, videos, and apps without paying extra for bigger storage models.

This helps users have more storage choices and allows brands to keep phone prices more affordable. Basically, it's a win-win for everyone!
