Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

      Depends what you mean by digital wallets, but all my banking apps (and their corresponding tap+pay apps) work fine, along with Google pay (in a sandboxed environment) (edit: I have never used Google pay for Tap+Pay, so I cannot verify that this works)

          You get default access to the Google Play Store. It’s just that the Play Store is demoted from being an irremovable system app with all permissions to being treated as a normal app. Depending on the app/feature you want you may need to add a permission manually, but everything should work.

        Google pay might work to look at your cards or something, but if you try to pay for something with your phone you’ll find that the tap-to-pay is disabled because of Google’s safety net bs.
