Since you mentioned VanGuardLH here, it provides me an excuse to bring up
an annoing geolocation issue regarding the iOS version  in the Vanguard app
of the Vanguard Funds investment firm where I keep some of my self-managed
401K  savings.

Their app that is virtually identical on Android an iOS, does not allow
download to locations outside of US claiming some security concerns.
Interestingly though Vanguard allows the app to work anywhere as long as it
was downloaded and installed in the US. This restriction does not apply to
the Android version. So this means I cannot use the iOS version now because
I bought my first iPhone in Hungary and tried to use the app on my iPhone
15. Luckily I can use the app on my old degraded Android phone that I
brought with me from the US. But I don’t want to go back to that slow old
phone, just for this reason.  What is puzzling is that the iOS app would
work here if it was installed in the US before leaving the country.
I tried to fake my location to my old US residence via SurfShark VPN, but
the AppStore could not be fooled with that.  Interestingly, the AppStore
does not have this restriction with a similar FldeIity funds app where I
also keep part of my 401K savings.  I wish you or somebody else could help
me overcome this problem.
