When The White House launched its eponymous app a few months ago, it was clear that there was barely any reason to install it at all. It’s a simple wrapper for The White House website, and most of the displayed information is already available from other sources. However, the US government clearly considers it useful enough to automatically install it on government devices.

Changes like this often look small on screen while shifting product habits and day-to-day operating workflows much faster than expected.
