Matth Rubberduckzilla I installed it from the Google Play store. And I also installed the Google camera to get some more features.
dcd-graphenediscuss From your list, I have Signal eBay NordVPN: I use Mullvad VPN, but NordVPN should work just fine Banking app: I use Chase, Venmo, Capital One, and Synchrony Bank. Barclays will work, too. PayPal: I have written on a separate post (Play Store Apps That Don't Run on Graphene), that no matter what I've done, even from a virgin install of GrapheneOS, with our without Google Play, PayPal would not run: I get a solid yellow screen and nothing after that.
dcd-graphenediscuss By the way, I installed GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 Pro and it's amazing at how well the battery life is. Also, folks gave me pointers on how to get PayPal working on GrapheneOS, and it's now working.
Rubberduckzilla dcd-graphenediscuss Great thanks man. Only thing i;m cuurious on is if the camera pictures are as good and Teams/plex. i've been really busy at work and the teams app is probably my most used app. I just read teams works with notificaitons with sandboxed google services, so i've got to look up how to do that.
GrouchyGrape @SundarPichai Just curious, is there a reason you want the PayPal app instead of just using the browser? Are there features unavailable otherwise? I use PayPal quite a bit but only through the browser, am I missing out on something?
SundarPichai GrouchyGrape well generally it's more secure using their own app, notifications come earlier as well.
SundarPichai [deleted] I have, there is no solution in them, but if you have some fix for me I'm all ears. Otherwise useless reply
[deleted] SundarPichai Clearly you did not. Here's dcd's post with the solution to his PayPal issue: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/1738-play-store-apps-that-dont-run-on-grapheneos
GrouchyGrape SundarPichai interesting, from my understanding and light research, installing apps will always be more invasive and less secure than a secured browser like vanadium. But I'm no expert so someone correct me if I'm wrong
SundarPichai GrouchyGrape secured browsers can still be compromised if a website is not secured. also when we're talking about companies the size of Paypal their app has a lot more work put into it for security. It is more invasive because it is their software on your device, but that's what user profiles are for. Any other app like weather, social media or reddit or shit like that, yeah run it from browser, who cares.
treequell Browsing a website using Vanadium does benefit from the additional sandboxing of the browser. But the native app can come with additional security features not available to a website. Please see https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/107-comparing-security-of-using-website-or-app/2 for more information. I encourage all of us to avoid making strong assertions unless we have the relevant technical knowledge. Please keep things professional here too and avoid bickering. I've had to remove a few of the comments here in light of that.
