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.
Use the websites whenever you can. That’s what I do at least. Although I had to stop using Lyft entirely, because they stopped supporting rides from their website apparently. And that leaves just Uber. I actually left my bank for a similar reason. It supported my phone just fine, and it worked without Google Play Services, but the website wouldn’t let me do everything that the app would, and the app required that I have Aurora Store to download their banking app from the Google Play Store, and I wanted to get away from that, so I switched banks so that I could use the bank website instead. From what I can tell, you run into this kind of stuff a lot with FinTech apps. But if you use older banks, like Discover or Wells Fargo or things like that, they tend to work better. Maybe because they’re not up with the newest technology, LOL.
Yeah Revolut is also the kinda app that is almost only a mobile app, not much you can do with their website, last i checked.
Revolut was the one I was looking at if I’d switch to Graphene.
Correct. This is the reason not to use Revolut.
Choose Wise instead.
lol, I’ve observed the same.
Fancy “Digital Wallet” thingy is absolutely decked out in Root detection, meanwhile my older, physical bank’s app doesn’t give a fuck.
I’ve never been too fond on the idea of a 100% digital bank so no loss for me!
