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…

    I can’t prove it, but I’m 99% sure Lyft did the same thing. Had a perfect rating (and was even a driver at one point), and they banned me without explanation right after I switched to GrapheneOS.

    Emailed them a few times asking for the reason, and they refused to tell me.

    _"Legally, we cannot release any additional information except that we found your account to be violating our Terms of Service.

    We will be in touch if we are able to reopen your account in the future."_

    There’s absolutely nothing else that they could’ve misconstrued as “violating the Terms of Service.”

    If Uber’s going down the same path, no more ride-sharing for me I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

        No idea. Gonna try to stick to the web app instead and hold off updating the native mobile app for as long as possible.

      There’s no reason a company couldn’t release the info legally unless it was under something like AML (anti money laundering) laws and you were flagged as a criminal. They legally can’t disclose why in that case.

      Using a different OS isn’t reason enough, if they were telling the truth about the legal restrictions.
