  you can’t have a phone that doesn’t spy on you without graphene, lineage or similar.

    Yea so I’m pretty suck. The middle option I use is Apple. I don’t really trust them, but at this point it’s better than using Google services

  I’ve been using GrapheneOS for a couple months and haven’t found any apps to be giving me trouble. What apps are locked off?

    Banking apps, Netflix (and similar), Restaurant apps, certain online games.

    That’s all I can think of, it be nice if I was corrected (Especially banking apps) since I wanted LineageOS.

      A lot of banking apps do work on grapheneos.

      Ah, I don’t game on my phone so I wouldn’t know about that, but all of my banking apps work and while I don’t normally use streaming services, I just downloaded and tested Netflix and Hulu and both loaded and took me to a login screen. I only actually logged in to Hulu because I don’t have a Netflix account, but I think it’s safe to assume it would’ve worked

    Can’t use mobile payment for one, then apps with integrity checks often block me. Might be highly related to the fact that I downloaded from Aurora instead of P Store, but yea I’m pretty sure some other are blocked as well.

    I have a Google account in another country than the one I’m living in and a lot of apps are not accessible this way for example… might be my fault as well, I know

    I heard bank apps are often an issue. I didn’t test it personally

      My government 2FA can’t work on those OSs. Could get a physical device that shows the code, but that’s nowhere near as practical. Without that 2FA I can’t pay online, check mail from the government, login to my bank, move my adress, change my phone plan. Everything is set up through the 2FA, which is convenient as fuck, and super safe, but requires either Apple or Android.

        Government 2FA? Sounds dystopian 👀

  Android itself does plenty of data collection on its own; I'm not sure if the brand really makes much of a difference here, unfortunately.

  I installed Sailfish OS on a Sony Xperia phone a few years ago, and that worked well enough. I had a couple of Android apps that I needed to use for work, and Sailfish has some kind of Android environment built in that lets you run Android apps. I worked for me, but I didn't try any payment apps or others that tend to be picky about what type of phone you're using.
