This is what really makes me question if I want to continue to use GOS, already some UK banks apps (which are app only) don't want to run. I'm considering switching back to stock as I can't be bothered to try to find hacks and workarounds for daily necessities.

I would never use a bank that is app only. Sounds like a horrible experience.

PayPal's app still works with our per-app secure spawning toggle disabled. It's a bug in their anti-tampering code.

Have you tried the per-app exploit protection compatibility mode or the finer-grained toggles for those apps? 90% of banking apps work on GrapheneOS but MANY have problematic anti-tampering code requiring the per-app compatibility mode.

Same experience in the UK, but it was the push that got me to switch from Lloyds to Nationwide if you're looking for another option. They're great, they even have offline 2FA methods as they send you a card reader for things like authing purchases or sign-ins. And the app still works :-)

I use revolut on a stock pixel 9, have been considering Graphene, but im worried about stuff like:

Revolut still works for the vast majority of our users due to our workarounds for their attempted ban on it. We got in contact with Revolut due to our thread and they appear willing to avoid banning it going forward despite their past moves to do it.
