I’m currently getting MEETS_DEVICE_INTREGRITY with play integrity fix, which is enough for Google Pay to work. The only thing that I haven’t been able to do is drive for Uber or use RCS oddly enough. RCS happened to fix itself about a month ago as well.

Can you work around it with magisk like rooted stock android? I bought my pixel specifically for graphene but google pay is the main thing preventing me from switching

There’s definitely a middle ground of people who are content with insecure but private communications who don’t want to post on social media

Or I can continue not using it like everyone else. It’s Signal’s responsibility to attract users, not mine. I’m all for it if they can gain adoption but I’m not investing any effort into helping them without pay

That’s all well and good but does nothing to address the user’s need for sync

If you really want to get angry have a look at this list. Storage and screen casting are some of the most egregious examples. Android may still be somewhat ahead of iOS but they are definitely converging. I don’t find Android to be the bastion of openness, customization and powerful features that I once did.
