I’m dabbling switching to GrapheneOS. Apple was the lesser of (obvious) evils compared to Google, but that’s becoming less true daily.
I don’t think I can make it my primary device yet, still need to de-cloud a bunch of services, but it’s very likely my next device won’t be an iPhone.
I'm running GrapheneOS since about 2 years now and I'm more than happy.
Didn't had any real issues with it.
Art the start Android Auto didn't work, but it does now - although I don't really use it.
I have Google play service stuff installed, but sandboxed.
And my banking apps work just fine.
Friend of mine made the switch a few months ago and haven't heard of any complaints either.
Can highly recommend it :-)
I'm mainly waiting for them to add banking apps. My bank is a small local credit union so it might be a while.
I'm using my banking apps (business and private) without issues
It's not about GrapheneOS adding those apps, it's about the bank allowing their apps to run on that Android device/version.
(Or someone correct me here, but that also makes more sense to me, than a whitelist on GrapheneOS side)
