I would love to switch to GrapheneOS, but I need to know a certain apps work before I can make the change. Is there any way I can do this? They are financial apps and sadly use GSF. I cannot avoid not having them sadly.
Any tips?
It’s hard to tell in advance, but apps that check SafetyNet will definitely not work and a lot banking apps use this.
There are some databases though that list compatibility for apps you can check out, e.g. https://plexus.techlore.tech/. If they work with microG, they should also work on GrapheneOS + sandboxes google play.
If those financial apps include banking apps, then this post by a mod of the GrapheneOS Discussion Forum should be useful. It includes a link to an up-to-date list of banking apps compatible with GrapheneOS and a link to steps to help resolve compatibility issues if they do occur.

They should work if you install sandboxed play services from the built in app store.

I upgraded a little early (while my previous phone wasn’t dead yet, for once) for this reason.
I’ve found financial apps work fine* even if they claim they need GFS. Your mileage may vary, of course.
*With the sandboxed GFS from the Graphene app store.

Thanks for that, just what I was looking for! ✨
