    GrapheneOS has the option to run sandboxed google play services which you can then download any google play store app. This allows for much greater security as the apps cannot see the other apps you download. Also, you could use Aurora Store which allows play store app downloads without a google account.

    There are issues that can pop up and is something you’d need to look into on app by app basis. Lately, it seems they have most banking apps working though.

      I feel like my local bank etc. is relatively shitty in terms of software, so I am expecting it to not work anywhere other than android & iOS. Local map apps and local messaging app is the bigger issue for me, though.

        Yea it can be tricky. If you have the time to test it out its worth the privacy upgrade.

        Just be sure you have an accurate image of your default OS, for your carrier if applicable, so you can revert.
