GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now. I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

I would love to switch to GrapheneOS, but I need to know a certain apps work before I can make the change. Is there any way I can do this? They are financial apps and sadly use GSF. I cannot avoid not having them sadly. Any tips?

It’s hard to tell in advance, but apps that check SafetyNet will definitely not work and a lot banking apps use this.

There are some databases though that list compatibility for apps you can check out, e.g. https://plexus.techlore.tech/. If they work with microG, they should also work on GrapheneOS + sandboxes google play.
