About this APK

Wevat Tax Refund is an app by Vatcat Ltd. in the Shopping category, listed since at least October 2021. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version 7.1.11, the APK grew from 32.5 MB to 49.2 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 6.0. It asks for 35 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: camera and record audio. Compared with version 7.1.14, it adds 3 new permissions: “Access adservices ad id”, “Access adservices attribution” and “Modify audio settings”. The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
