@maya@gs.lexinova.eu @OmegaPolice@hachyderm.io @britter@chaos.social Most banking apps work on GrapheneOS but many have memory corruption bugs and incorrect anti-tampering code requiring our per-app exploit protection compatibility mode toggle. Around 10% of banking apps are unavailable due to banning using a non-Google-approved OS. Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS in addition to a Google-approved OS which is growing. There's a good list based on ongoing user reports: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

    I’m sure it’s just paranoia and I don’t have any proof but I’ve long gotten the vibe that installing Graphene on your Google brand phone is basically running HoneyPot OS. A bunch of banking apps simultaneously white listing Graphene does not help

      I’ve had that vibe about Signal for years now and anything they do always seems to give them a way to remove anonymity. The current US administration using it certainly doesn’t reflect well on it.

      On the other hand, I don’t think GOS is subverted, there’s a good enough number of govt’s that have it on their shit list that I think it’s probably clean.

        Signal is 100% a honey pot and that has been obvious for years. I don’t even try and warn people anymore, they don’t care. It’s even worse than security theater. I had bad vibes about it before I got confirmation it was a trap, the same kinda bad vibes Graphene gives me

        Like I said I don’t know enough to say it’s anything other than paranoia but I’ve gotten nothing but sketch vibes from Graphene the entire I’ve known about it.

    My banking app works but I don’t even know if my bank knows about Graphene. For a bit jt stopped working then came back.

    I was actually surprised the list is pretty long. If you use a well known bank, they’re likely already there.
