I wonder if Square would still work, for example? I haven't flashed open source ROMs on my phone since like 2012.
Honestly though, I just consider the phone a lost cause when it comes to privacy & use it accordingly. Uncle Googs is always watching, even when the damn thing is turned off.
the thing about degoogled OS is lack of SafetyNet support and it is important for banking apps.
FWIW, banking apps work fine on GrapheneOS.
if you mean this list that is quite concerning because each individual have difference banking preferences and it looks like it depends on the bank to support GrapheneOS directly But, I don't think they bother because low market share (https://grapheneos.org/usage#banking-apps)
The bank doesn't need to manually support GrapheneOS, the app just needs to behave appropriately - which, as you can see from that list, the overwhelming majority of them do.
If my bank stops supporting it, then I will move banks. But I doubt it will ever really become an issue.
many countries are not supported like South Africa, Uruguay, Paraguay, Latvia, Brunei etc. that is why degoogled OS support for banking apps are patchy and I don't think normies are bother to install it.
you're misinterpreting that list, it is not exhaustive - it's a list of banking apps which someone has tried and updated the list. the lack of a specific country or bank on that list doesn't mean it doesn't work, it means nobody has tested it, or nobody has added it to the list, at least
Thx, that's exactly my concern as I remember it being an issue when I was flashing ROMs in the past.
