GrapheneOS Adds Custom Private Network Location Feature

Do some research to see if other people have been able to use the banking app you need. There's a chances that your banking app won't work. Many people just use the Vanadium browser to access their bank on the phone instead of the app.

Not sure about dual boot, but you can have multiple profiles in Graphene.

As for apps, everyone has different needs. You can still use google play on GrapheneOS if you wish. Or you can use Fdroid and Aurora to get most apps without having to use google play. Most people choose this route because they are trying to distance themselves from google and want more privacy.

Bottom line is that GrapheneOS is designed around privacy and greater control for the user. It will never be as convenient as a stock Android or Apple install, that's just the trade you make for better privacy. Make sure you have all your data backed up before you switch, and do your research about any apps that you are currently using that you can't live without. See what other peoples experience are with using them on Graphene.

I'm considering to install GrapheneOS in my current Android phone. A few questions:
Is it compatible with bank applications? It's kind of a dealbreaker for me, as I mostly use my phone for internet bank.
Is dual boot possible? If yes, is it convenient?
Which applications could I get used to, while still using Android, to make the transition smoother?
