And have you installed lineage on your new phone?
I usually go with Samsung phones as I am not a fan of pixel. However, I use a lot of banking apps and I am not sure if they block usage once they detect a jailbroken phone.
Has that happened to you?
Yes, I have been trying different ROMs including LineageOS, but you’ll need to install GApps. but you’ll need to install GApps. Most bank apps rely on Google Play Services. By the way, jailbreaking iOS is similar to “root” on Android. Installing a custom ROM doesn’t necessarily mean your phone is rooted. So, you shouldn’t be concerned about that.
