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…

I use a small local credit union that doesn’t appear on their supported list. It’s literally the only thing holding me back, I’m tempted to say fuck it anyway. But I wonder if it might work anyway…

  1. Order a Pixel
  2. Flash GrapheneOS
  3. If it works, congratulations! If not, switch banks or revert to stock and return the phone.

If nothing else can you use the browser?

I’ve used Hermit for years to present websites like an app, and am using Native Alpha on my new phone.

Yeah you’re probably right. I’ve gotta get a new phone before I can really attempt it, but I’ll at least try!
