Other than Meta for interviews? Seems like whiteboard challenges are the norm.

LinkedIn does app critiques
Whiteboard challenges are different than app critiques. Other than Meta, this is what I’ve seen. App critiques: Yahoo & Squarespace Whiteboard challenges: Squarespace, Gusto & Snapchat
No app critique or whiteboard challenge: square
Stripe does an app critique, but it doesn’t have to be a mobile app and you get to choose the app yourself. I’m not sure what the whiteboard accomplishes, but I do think app critiques demonstrate how you’d be able to provide constructive feedback to your peers in design reviews.

It is a weird interview because there are very few common apps that are widely used (both you and the interviewer have it), don’t have sensitive content and can be critiqued meaningfully in an hour. You can’t critique chat apps, banking apps, work apps like Slack and Zoom. Won’t be appropriate to do Snap or Bumble either in an interview. Seems to always end up being Spotify, Amazon or Airbnb.
Yeah, and Uber. I guess it's getting phased out?
I’ve had lots of success critiquing niche hobby apps. Like if you like hiking, critique AllTrails. Or I play and collect TCGs, so I’ve also critiqued ManaBox before. Never had an issue with the interviewer not having it, because I just screenshare anyways. They’re also more interesting because their monetization is different from apps that are trying to just purely sell you things or complete a checkout process. But you’re still able to figure out how they monetize and talk a lot about that. Would highly recommend trying an app of a hobby you’re interested in. Running, weightlifting, training, collectibles, book organization, plants, fishing, etc. there’s one for everything. Personally I prefer app crits to whiteboarding.
