I have my respect for GrapheneOS for addressing the Play Integrity API issue.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me! Good to know graphene is still worth getting into :)

Hold your horses that hardware attestation stuff is crap. No developer is going to use it instead of the play integrity api. Both authy and relay for reddit don't work on GOS due to this. The play store even hides the existence of these when running on GOS.

I also had a temporary limitation with uber app functionality. They were doing some AB testing that would disable various features if you didn't pass integrity api. That's since gone away for me but i wouldn't be surprised if it comes back

Is there a different OS with the relative ease and functionality of graphene (android auto and other such features being big one) that you could recommend to a beginner? Or is graphene still worth it, in your opinion? Ease is important to me as someone with a new baby but cares about privacy.

What's wrong with GOS?
