You can disable it in settings.

It’s not necessary to have the app installed, but in reality, it is.

I had tried to mitigate it by using Android’s private spaces, but I now use it in a web browser on my phone but I don’t get notifications

Do normal phone calls work fine? I remember last time I used graphene I had problems with those, but it might just have been the phone itself.

You can deny camera access, and the EU has proposed the same and is set to implement age verification by the end of 2026.

Thanks a lot for the response, it’s very helpful.

I have verified that tow apps have implemented the Play Integrity API. I believe a third one is going to implemented soon. Yes, sadly, the government apps need to be on my phone but luckily i think you can disable background usage.

Sorry for the long response.

I will think about switching to GrapheneOS anyway and just have tow devices it would be possible and mabye not as annoying as i first thougt.

I don’t have the money to switch to an iPhone if the apps I need for my day-to-day life on the go begin requiring the Google Play Integrity API (I think some of the apps may do so in the future, like the app used to send money in my country).

Btw, thanks for pointing out the work app. I might actually be able to use it in a browser (didn’t think about it because I hade it in Android private spaces).

Yes it’s proton. It sounds like you have an iOS device. What’s your experience with Proton on that, if you have the apps installed?

Facebook Messenger is also cross-platform, but not great for privacy. Unfortunately, I need it at the moment - not so much for close friends. Less close friends I still want to stay in contact with and groups for activity’s if you join a socker team the communications is gonna be on Facebook messenger.

And also, I heard that GrapheneOS (and other ROMs) will only receive non-critical security fixes every 3 months, which sounds like a long time. And looks like Google will do more and more to kill custom Roms. The thing I fear is google will require google play integty api to use Google play services.

They accept mullvad gift cards.

That’s not true; he has never expressed support for Trump. The tweet people tark about

I wish there were more dumb phones that supported signal and/or RCS (with E2EE support).

It’s worth noting that as of 2022, Unity owns 73.5% of the company IronSource, which develops the spy/“intrusive bloatware” app

It’s not an alternative, it’s more of a floss implantation, but it still contacts Google servers
