Great, the worst of both worlds. (share.jackgreenearth.org)

I can't root my phone because I don't have an image for it (Moto G73) although I'd like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it's rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn't happening before.

Edit: I'm regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.

Maybe not ideal but I'm sure the web version of your banking app would work through a browser.

It does, but it's not designed for mobile. I would send a screenshot, but I don't trust myself to censor everything important.

That's a fair point. My old bank which was pretty terrible I never installed their app and found the app just loaded a mobile version of their website so I just used that.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

The website also makes me log in with 3 random digits from a pass code and sms verification every time, as opposed to the fingerprint the app required, so it's definitely more of a pain. The website claims to have chat feature to get support, but I don't see it even when I disable ublock origin for the site.

Try to use a desktop, try different browsers if needed, if you cannot, you may need to physically go to the bank.

I'll go without a phone before I agree to terms like that. I refuse to go without my permission spoofing and privacy enhancements. I'm not giving them unrestricted access to my data, they'll have to at the very least try harder and waste more money on hackers than usual.

I was able to bypass something similar by using apps that create multiple instances of an app, I used Shelter (https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/)

I keep waiting for KernelSU support for more devices

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How are you rooted?

Magisk Hide + Play Integrity Fix should fix it. Also hide all Google play services from detecting root.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I'm not rooted, that's the problem.
