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..

Would not updating Revolut keep the app compatible as long as you don't sign out?

If so, don't update the app and write down the build number of the last app version which worked on GrapheneOS. That way you would have a bit more time to sort things out.

They constantly force you to update or the app won't work. I was already having issues with Revolut on GrapheneOS so I just closed my account and switched to Wise. The Revolut app was a bloated mess anyway.

Guess I'll have to follow suit, because I'd love to switch to graphene OS

Yupp thinking about doing the same, but want to wait a little to see if wise decides to do the same..
