I've been unsure about installing proprietary, tracker-filled banking apps and the like on my #LineageOS #mobile.
I've decided the most practical compromise is to just throw them all into the work profile using the #Shelter app, where there are no contacts or personal files. If an app isn't being used, I also freeze it.
It's working well, though the process has changed/reverted some of the settings in my main profile, such as tap to wake and notification sounds. Anyone else experienced this?
@5am I know this is not what you're asking, but I just want to say anyway, for anyone in the situation you describe: please tell your bank that they need to provide better solutions than whatever proprietary app they have now, because it is not working for you. You can argue this based on security and privacy. You are their customer, they should listen to you. They may not listen because you are a minority, but at least they cannot get away with saying that they have not had any complaints.
@eliasr Yes, it's a good point. It's definitely worth speaking up. I used to do this with my previous bank because they were increasingly pushing people towards their app and away from the card reader-type devices, which people without newer smartphones must rely on to do any online banking. The particular issue I had was that their app just wouldn't work on LineageOS. It would launch but I could never complete the registration.
