I’m picking up a new Google Pixel and want to put GrapheneOS on it. Heard about Graphene since before their splits at CopperHead, but I havent had the chance the try the OS out. So I searched around and GrapheneOS allowed Google Play sandbox.
Does this function similar to a “Private Space” on newer Android or “Secure Folder” on Samsung? So I can enjoy the Graphene stuff but whenever I need Google Play specific apps, I use the sandbox environment?
Mostly, I will be using bank apps under the sandbox. Are there problems with OTP in this environment? In Samsung’s Secure Folder, my bank app will have problems sending OTP unless I send it outside, i.e. out of Secure Folder.

Strongly recommend reviewing the compatibility of apps you can’t live without, especially finance ones. And you won’t be able to use Google Wallet with tap to pay. Those are often not happy about you having any amount of security or privacy in the name of security, but really usually because they’re too lazy, or want to violate your privacy themselves.
I never really used it so it was fine with me. And the few apps I had to dump I mostly found open source alternatives for other than finance ones which I just use the websites instead now.
I installed curve pay to replace google wallet as suggested elsewhere, works fine.
