Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Small OT: In the article it's mentioned also the app "IO" (italian for the english word "I"). There are also other important italian apps not working without play services. The serious thing is that that apps are almost mandatory to do the ordinary public administration bureaucracy. We can say that the italian state forces its citizens to use a smartphone with Google Play Services installed. This is no sense.

Oh great, I guess I'll have to change my payment info for everything now. Fantastic.

Seems like my time to move away from Authy. Any drop in alternative for iOS? Ideally I could export services and load them back, not manually adding/removing 1 by 1. Even if I can't though, suggestion still welcomed.

I use Authy under a separate work profile on graphene with no issues 🤔

But when did you set Authy up? I don't recall when Authy made the change, but it wouldn't kick you out. It would, however, prevent you from signing in a new device. So if you lose your phone, you might lose access to those tokens...
