For a long time I was far too scared of being excluded from technological society to install this on my only phone, as much as I'd love to. It sickens me that banking apps, and others, depend on proprietary operating systems.
What I do instead is have a separate device that I customize to my liking with Lineage, than an iPhone that I keep normal; I have the phone that I actually like to use, then a "normie phone" that's identical to everyone else's so I don't get arbitrarily excluded from things.

- bpev 2y agoMany times the web browser works, but there are some cases where it doesn't or is just a much worse experience. Or even some apple-specific stuff, like my mom enjoys calling me via facetime. Having the second device just opens up more chances that you have something that works.
- prmoustache 2y agoSadly for those living in EU many banks forces you to validate online payments with a phone app only. Having said that, most bank apps still work on custom android images. Mine works on grapheneOS.
