I have my respect for GrapheneOS for addressing the Play Integrity API issue.

Well. I was literally considering getting a pixel fold in the next few days to give grapheneOS a try. I guess I won’t now? What other good options are there for a (mostly) casual who wanted minimal fiddling and maximum privacy? Just switching back to iPhone?

There’s nothing wrong with Graphene. I’ve been using it for months now on my Pixel 7.

Did you read the post…? It seems like Google is starting to fuck with app access, unless I’m misunderstanding?

They didn’t change anything. Banking apps rely on play integrity to check if the device is secure (not bootloader unlocked/rooted). Google abuses this, so grapheneos devices also don’t get the support.

I doubt iPhone is better, and it’s marketing instead. Or it’s a matter of time before they wanna go the data mining road. You can also get a fairphone and install a custom ROM

Right, but not Graphene, though, right? The whole draw of Graphene is that it’s relatively easy and android-feature complete, no?

No idea tbh. I edited my message to fix my mistake too

Only a few apps enforce Play Integrity so it is still the best option for a casual user. Cash App enforcing it is my biggest hurdle.

Is there a master list of apps that do this, I wonder?
