Santander app issue

On my home page when logging in, all my accounts have the balance blurred out. I must have done something to the settings? How do I get back to having all the balances immediately in vision?

    It would be a rather strange setting that obscures the balances once you have logged into the app, don't think that's the problem.

    EDIT - correcting myself - it's called "Discreet Mode", "your balances are blurred so that people can't see them".

    Turn it on/off by double tapping the Santander logo top left of the screen,

    What a stupid and pointless idea that is.

    Honestly this is the best feature of the app, I'm a massive fan of it.

    You can extend this useful feature to all of your other apps by smearing a generous dollop of Vaseline over the whole screen area. 

    Removes the danger that other people might see details of anything at all.

    🤣🤣 I could do that, but then my phone would be covered in vaseline...
    Or I could just tap the logo 😜

    Try the vaseline thing — might keep you entertained for a bit longer.
