People who are using a custom ROMs. Are you able to use apps like banking apps and work apps (outlook, teams, InTune, etc.)?
This is a big hurdle for me and I don't wish to carry two phones.
In the UK, banking apps are optional, I can use website in browser.
With GrapheneOS, you can install Play apps sandboxed and with dummied google apps and control how much of the file system they can see etc.
I would assume outlook has a web client. Not sure what InTune is so cannot comment.
Some yes, not all tho, doing it in a browser has more isolation but if you need to use the app you can also disable all permissions that "they need to properly function", usually the app works but they are very hesitant in making you allow the microphone, contacts and camera all the time
This site has a crowd sourced list of apps that includes their compatibility on deGoogled Android devices.
Personally, I've had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven't given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary
I've been on Graphene for 2 years now, and all my banking apps (from 3 different countries, business and personal) work perfectly. I used Calyx for a while, and everything worked there as well. For most deGoogled OSs that allow to te-lock the bootloader, there should be no issues when using banking apps.
My banking app worked for me on both Calyx and Grpahene no problem
