I used to use #grapheneos to access Microsoft teams. Recent updates, has made it recognise device as rooted and I can no longer use it. I am seeing so many apps adopting this, makes me worried about future of alternative OS. Governments doesn't care about #grapheneos users to push for regulations.
Pain points:
1. Play integrity adoption
2. Checking whether phone is using alternative OS
3. Every app can know what other apps are installed and if it doesn't like the neighbor app it stops working
