  • MasterOne It's always assumed that Play Integrity will come next for Revolut, but I don't think so, because wouldn't that prevent the use on old phones as well?

    Nope. This isn't about security at all but about control. 10-year-old phones with long-abandoned Android versions and no security updates do pass the Integrity check in hard mode. Also, they don't really care, at the end of the day. They will blindly follow whatever practices their Google/Apple masters advertise as "best", and just assume things will work out OK because surely everyone else will also just go with the flow.

    brightjob4495 I think the solution is to stop being a customer of entities that are hostile towards you.

    In an ideal world, I would only use GrapheneOS with FOSS apps from non-Google app store source. However, this proved impossible in the long run. For example I absolutely needed a health-related app for a certain thing regarding my health. There's no way around that really. It will only probably get worse in the future, for example when countries ban cash, or banks transition to virtual-only debit cards, so you will absolutely need some proprietary bank app to be able to live.

  • So this is not really "fixed" but rather "delayed". Once they use Integrity API hard mode, we're doomed. Might as well get used to carrying 2 phones, folks

    Is there no way to at least run a VM with stock Android that would pass this?
