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..

I use McDonalds App all the time on GOS this only affect you if you use Google Pay when checking out to my knowledge.

This is actually good, see it as an enrichment of your life. The only sad thing is Revolut though.

As an alternative to Authy I recommend Stratum (previously known as Authenticator Pro) https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.stratumauth.app

This due to its compatibility with Android wear (companion)
