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..

This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don't want you to use it then it must be doing something right.

Too bad it only runs on Google's phones...

It's only officially supported on google phones because sadly those are the only ones that are not modified to fuck which makes installing and supporting other OS'es way too much work.

Giving google money once for a device is not a problem from a privacy or security standpoint.

In the EU almost every phone has an unlockable bootloader, there just isn't any roms or custom recoveries for a lot of them.
