What Is Changing in Android Security? At the core of this shift is Google’s updated Play Integrity API. Developers can now reliably detect whether a device is running a supported Android version, receiving security updates, and passing system integrity checks. Apps — especially banking, payments, enterprise, and government services — can respond by restricting features or refusing to run on devices that fail these checks.

Can the EU just hurry up and decouple from the fucking US already? We need to invest in either a fork of Android or go full Linux mobile. A single company shouldn't be able to dictate how millions of users access necessary apps and force governments into locking down their apps.

I can use my bank app on Graphene profile without google services installed. I really hope they won't require this, but if they do, it's something I'm willing to change my bank over.

Hopefully there'll be at least one bank that doesn't.

I know that this is probably not that crazy of an opinion here but I don't think they should be allowed to do that.

My family moved from Apple to Google Nexus/Pixel to Samsung & Xiaomi & now to Huawei.

I only wish Linux phones came out faster. They've a lot of customers outside the US willing to buy.
