Experience with GrapheneOS (lemm.ee)

I'm considering buying a pixel 7(a/pro) or pixel 8(a/pro). I was wondering if the longer updates for the pixel 8 impacts grapheneOS, and if that means I should go for the pixel 8. And have any GrapheneOS users here had any issues that they wouldn't have had on Android.

Thanks alot in advance!

I've been transitioning over the last week or so, on a new 8 pro,which is the same dimensions as the 4.5 year old Samsung it replaced.

So far, I have two banking apps from the same UK provider that don't work due to them checking the same flags as Google Pay (12 other banking apps I have work fine), one parking payment app that doesn't work and I've been told uber has started to be glitchy with their latest update.

The work around for all of those (apart from Google Pay) is use them via the web browser where they are fine.

Is using older versions of apps possible? As in downgrading?

Might be worth shot thanks

Assuming this is Halifax and Lloyd's then it probably won't, banking apps tend to demand you use the latest versions. Workaround is to just use the mobile site (which is tedious to log into but works fine) or tell them to stop using the Play Integrity API (which they won't do).
