I have my respect for GrapheneOS for addressing the Play Integrity API issue.

Well. I was literally considering getting a pixel fold in the next few days to give grapheneOS a try. I guess I won't now? What other good options are there for a (mostly) casual who wanted minimal fiddling and maximum privacy? Just switching back to iPhone?

I doubt iPhone is better, and it's marketing instead. Or it's a matter of time before they wanna go the data mining road. You can also get a fairphone and install a custom ROM

Right, but not Graphene, though, right? The whole draw of Graphene is that it's relatively easy and android-feature complete, no?

No idea tbh. I edited my message to fix my mistake too

Yeah, apple is always teetering on that fence where on the one side, they're a Corpo and want to sell your data, but on the other side their whole draw and the logic behind being a walled garden is the privacy aspect for their users. If they drop the privacy draw, then why would some users want to stay in a walled garden

Familiarity

Only a few apps enforce Play Integrity so it is still the best option for a casual user. Cash App enforcing it is my biggest hurdle.

Is there a master list of apps that do this, I wonder?

There's nothing wrong with Graphene. I've been using it for months now on my Pixel 7.

Did you read the post...? It seems like Google is starting to fuck with app access, unless I'm misunderstanding?
