   Welp, at least 2 of my banking apps consider the Fairphone 6 with Murena /e/OS to be "rooted" and won't run. That's a snag.

     @johnke @jmason Seems like the only solutions are to have 2 phones forever or return the /e/OS version and get the Googled Fairphone. Sucks.

     @annika I only know about this because @jmason has been through the wringer with this. Sounds like an absolute shitshow.

     Other annoyance that is mostly my fault: I'm in the Signal beta program and I can't transfer my account to Signal on the Fairphone which isn't in the beta program (one version behind)

     @willegible Feels like bad opsec to say. But the big ones you can expect most people use.

     @deneb It's my first Fairphone, and it's my first one running the de-Googled /e/OS. I assume it's the latter that's the problem

     @annika is this a new thing or a recurring problem? Did it run on previous Fairphone OS?

     I can use the Roku app as a guest, but I can't sign in because my phone "has been modified or uses untrusted software" #murenaos

     Murena /e/OS v3.1.1 fixed two of my banking apps (I haven't tried the 3rd yet), as well as the Roku app. None of them complain about an unsupported/rooted device any more.
