Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of ‘non-google’ approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that’s true or not…

    What do you mean webapp? Isn’t the app that you install a webapp? And isn’t a website not an app because you dont install it?

      PWA - Portable Web App, Apple was going to make this the primary way to run apps but then decided an app store and private stuff was more profit and their support for it tends to be on the suckier side, but has gotten better over the years. You install a PWA in your browser by either “Install” or “Add to home screen” or something like that depending on browser and device being used.

        Apparently not. I guess some apps you install in the browser. Which is an important distinction, if they’re using the word correctly

          Yes both are PWA capable. However I stand corrected. The McDonalds webapp now redirects you to the play store when you try to order.

          Guess they don’t want me as a customer. (Not that I’d eat McDonalds anyway).

          riders.uber.com is fully functional though, I use it often
