I hope this garbage fails and gets hacked. Not using it even with a gun pointed at my head. Russian "kulibins" can't innovate, all they do is create broken garbage.
Russian IT is pretty solid. It shows in the banking sector and in digital government services.
I quite literally live in Russia and have experienced the horrors of it. It is far, far from "pretty solid". The only solid thing they got is blocking everything their gaze falls upon. I can't even access cratesio anymore without a VPN. Hell, I can't access the majority of the internet anymore. My system won't update, I can't download libraries, nothing. The router that my isp gave me doesn't allow for passwords longer than 8 characters and crashes if it's longer than that. It is advertised as "made in Russia". Vk - don't even get me started. It won't even open with connection under 10mbit/s. It will lag, try to load of minutes, and in the end won't do a thing while hogging the battery. It alone straight up makes my desktop browser use 100% CPU and a few gigs of ram. I would continue, if I had a better memory, but living in this country literally kills my brain with stress.
Why? You can use it to send messages to random numbers till the gun is pointed elsewhere.
Having government apps on my phone physically makes me ill, it feels like I have worms in my butt. I can't describe it with other words. I hate my government with passion.
Probably gonna have to buy a burner phone though, and do what you said. Seems like there is no escaping it...
