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 don’t think LOS has any privacy/security improvements over the stock android?

    (IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

    Though if your phone isn’t getting official updates, it’s probably safer with LOS.

        Yeah, I myself am using CalyxOS, because DivestOS doesn’t support the Fairphone 5 unfortunately. CalyxOS also has relocking.

          Calyx also comes with MicroG, right? So mitigates many problems with a bit more Google.

          And Fairphone 4 here, partly for Divest (had it on Oneplus 6 before this and just used to it), partly because of a good deal for a barely used one.

            (IMHO) CalyxOS is a good balance between security and usability. Better than LineageOS, worse than GrapheneOS (and DivestOS).

              Amen to that. Everyone has their own balance point, Calyx seems to hit that for many.
