For those who use GrapheneOS, is it worth it? Do you like it?

My backups are done, all that is left is the final choice to wipe my whole phone.

    6 months in, and I can’t imagine going back. Use the web installer if possible, it is quick and really easy. Then immediately create a secondary user account for the Google compatibility layer, if you want that shit. I dont but I need my bank app. Keep it seperate. If you wanna use Google apps sometimes, have a separate user for that. You will gain quite a bit of battery without Google calling home every couple minutes. But if you install the compatibility layer in your main profile it becomes a chore to move to another account.

      What about 2FA, and banking apps, and banks’ payment apps? At least in Yurop they require a “safe” / “uncompromised” OS. Oh the irony! But that is why I am still unrooted.

        I used to have a service which required Authy and that will not work with a failed Play Integrity API check.

        Chase and AMEX make it more annoying to log in by requiring additional 2FA after fingerprint unlocks.

        Capital One is the same experience as my stock OS.

        2FA has been fine for me, but banking apps are iffy where some work and some do not. I don’t use or trust banking apps, so it wasn’t a blocker for me.

        If you install sandboxed Play Services then they should work. If not then the websites will.
