F-droid basic does have it, not sure why the base app wouldn’t

Thanks OP, uninstalled

It works through the Google play services afaik so it won’t.

It’s really Google’s fault for implementing this, the banks do get some of the blame for using it too when it has nothing to do with security though.

Not really cause you need to patch those apps to support microg instead afaik, at least you do with YouTube, and banking apps probably have ways to check if they’ve been meddled with.

To expand on that if you’re curious, there are afaik 2 types of attestation to verify it’s a safe device, device attestation (which checks for a locked bootloader and some specific fingerprints), this is safe to fake for custom roms. The other one is the one i mentioned done through the software side with Google play services and such. That’s impossible to fake currently (afaik, been a minute since I could install a custom rom).

There are basically 3 types of OSs out there:

• Google-approved android (these come with Google apps, and most importantly Google services, which are basically what is going to BD doing the blocking for the cause Keep Android Open is concerned about. Google services already has some additional attestation stuff in, which many banks use, which only work if you’ve got a stock google-approved OS)
• Non Google approved android (generally based on AOSP which is the actually open source code Google publishes for android, these don’t come with google services so they fail the play store attestation, generally people will be needing microg to use stuff like YouTube, which is basically a light google services replacement)
• Graphene OS (it gets its special category because it sandboxes apps so you can use Google services apps in a way that doesn’t give them access to the rest of your system and therefore shouldn’t be able to mess with what you want to install, best of both worlds but it’s not foolproof).

There are a few other projects like /e/ but that’s just AOSP with a coat of paint, graphene is a much more substantial change to how your phone locks down app access.

Lol what a marketing stunt, that’s just a middle end device. It’s either a flagship phone or it’s not, and if it’s not low budget nor is it a flagship then its just a mid range phone, maybe higher mid range here based on the price, but it’s easier to round up.

… How do you know the child protection scan does nothing?

Is the grey blue the Gemini moulding over products?
