      Grapheneos isn’t rooted by default, and they recommend re-locking the bootloader after installing it, so most banking apps work.

      Custom roms dont require rooting. It is a bad security practice and not necessary.

      GrapheneOS uses sandboxed google play store and most banking apps work fine with exception like CashApp and other bankspy type shops.

        Is there a confirmed list of apps that will not function in Graphene? I searched around, and all I get is “some bank apps dont work” but your the first I see mention cashapp specifically. I could probably work around Cashapp, but I’d at least need zelle/venmo etc. Due to my credit union app more than likely not being compatible.

        I really want to move to the platform, but I don’t currently have a Pixel, so I can’t just try it out. Before going out, buying a Pixel, loading Graphene and finding out I can’t use my banking app or the very least the other money apps I’d just like a heads up.

        In the end if I need a backup phone then so be it.

            Almost. It doesn’t list cashapp, venmo, zelle. I use a local credit union, so my bank app would likely never be listed.

            Maybe I just keep an eye out for a cheap Pixel and just try it.

          I think there lists out there but i never seen them, maybe somebody can post.

          My friend tried the switch and cashapp was deal breaker for him so thats how i know.

          It is trial and error and my understanding, some banks are actively working to brick custom roms

          Cash app used to work according to reddit posts i saw.

          I am abit more hardcore about it. If bank fucks around, i will fucking move. I know we cant exepct most people to do this.

          But with privacy/security first mentality it is doable.
