Right, that's what confuses me the most. I was very surprised to find the reddit thread showing that other people are also having this specific app silently installed on their devices.

Makes me think something got jacked up adding/removing things from promotional bundles with other apps.

It shouldn’t do that, obviously, but headspace does seem like it’s one that bundles “free” with a bunch of health insurance, education, etc.

From a debugging perspective, without having Apples information, I kinda want to know if all affected users have some related health or education apps.
