  It's true that it makes some things more complicated, but it's a trade-off that I'm willing to make for the convenience and security of hosting my own backups.

  Just install a couple Magisk modules and your banking app should work fine. At least mine does.

    Sorry for a dumb question, what are those

      Magisk is a way to handle root on Android, it allows to insert system modules to change some things deep in Android. There used to be a feature called Magisk Hide that could make apps unable to detect you were rooted. Now you have to install other modules to circumvent safety net and other checks. It's an arms race : google changes the way it detects things, and modules developers update their circumvention techniques. Try to search "magisk hide 2024" and you should find more information

      To add to the existing comment, the solution I use, and I think the most popular solution right now is called Play Integrity Fix: https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix/ https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix/ I haven't had to touch it in about a year, but some apps may try harder to keep people from having control of their own devices.

        This makes me want to switch back more than ever.

  Banking web apps usually, mostly work just fine. The one exception is depositing checks. It's pretty rare that I need to do that these days, though.

  I'm not rooted anymore, but my banking app worked fine when I was. Only the health insurance app (TK) had issues
