It’s bothering me so much that less and less phones are compatible with LineageOS or Postmarket or any custom ROMs.
There’s now some “safetynet” layer or something I hear, where any sort of commerce apps will just refuse to open if they detect a “tampered” device.
You might say “Just use the web view then”, sure, but it depends highly on their implementation whether you’ll have a smooth time or not lol.
These security features sound nice in principle, but if you already know what you’re doing enough to flash a custom ROM, it’s basically just another thing to lock your phone down and force obsolescence when they decide to just stop patching it to force you to buy more e-waste.
I wish there was more I could do to support Linux phones…
Yeah luckily my bank app works fine on the web but some functions are missing so I am forced to use a stock android phone as well just in case I need those features.

Some cheesier financial entities are also just forcing everyone to the app now. No web.
