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..

Can I simulate another OS environment for these kind of apps?

Well, Google is known for destroying its opposition.

Revolut seems to continue working as of now on my PIxel 7. I'm transferring the money out just in case. Any idea when are they going to stop them from working?

Stops working if you log in and out of your account. At least this is what GrapheneOS folks stated on BlueSky.

If a business makes it too difficult to use them I just use someone else. I'm sure they understand that but are making a killing at the expense of other people.
