Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

So, Android 9 / 10?

I'm sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

    In that case, no. I assumed we were talking about up-to-date devices.

    Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven't checked) so it's still a serious win.

    Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you'd be willing to fund it?
