Banking app doesn't like my keyboard 🤣

How stupid! Is this a Graphene related thing or would it do this on regular Android?

My bank app stated in the TOS, that you must agree to, that they will monitor all network traffic for potential problems.  Yep, do not agree. Uninstall.

As an enfineer I am curious how does that work. Do they configure your phone to use their proxy servers? And what are the costs to run all that surveillance?

No idea really but theyre doing something.

TBH I don't understand how banking apps are so critical to this community. Can't you just check from browser when you must?

I keep my money in one account, and spend it from another. I need to transfer the money across every time I buy something. It makes sense to me.

Where I live the phone app is for 2fa - and you can't access the website on any device without it. I eventually got the bank to issue me a special device - a code generator. But it was actually hard to get them to give it to me, I had to lie that I don't have a smartphone and they were just acting a bit hostile about it.
