Apparently this included on some phones running GrapheneOS according to some other commenters.
I agree with your sentiment, but think we need to urge our governments to regulate the ever-loving god our of these companies.
It's getting more out of hand, and I don't think we should just resign ourselves.
Flashing GrapheneOS is not an option for the vast majority of people due to barriers to entry, and potentially essential banking apps not playing nicely.
I'd rather not move on. Heck 'em.
Banking apps are certainly a huge block for many to flash any phone with any ROM (for me they all work, but I know of many apps that just won't).
We should all be pushing in our own countries for our governments to regulate all these out of control companies, but i also think that, given the ability, each of us should do our best to do on our end what these companies are not willing to for our privacy and our security. It is a pretty deep rabbit hole, no doubt.
Have a great weekend, man.
You too friend :)
