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..

They do have a web app, it’s just very feature limited https://www.revolut.com/blog/post/introducing-the-revolut-web-app/

Like you can’t even pay people money kind of feature limited

not really. services make the mobile site unusable. example:

facebook: nags you to use the facebook app with popups and large banners
facebook messenger: does not even let you to log in

Fuck Facebook. I left that shithole in 2015.
