Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of ‘non-google’ approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that’s true or not…

    Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

    So, Android 9 / 10?

    I’m sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

        Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven’t checked) so it’s still a serious win.

        Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you’d be willing to fund it?
