Banking apps begin allowing GrapheneOS on Android
Original: Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS
Around a dozen banking apps have started specifically permitting GrapheneOS, the privacy-focused Android operating system, rather than blocking it as unsupported or rooted devices. Users of the hardened mobile OS have long complained that banking apps refuse to run on it despite its strong security guarantees. The change suggests banks are updating their device-integrity checks to recognise GrapheneOS's hardware attestation. Discussion is focused on whether this marks a shift toward broader acceptance of alternative secure Android systems.
Why now: It is a meaningful change for privacy-focused Android users who have long been locked out of banking apps.
