#playintegrityapi

Today I noticed that WhatsApp started using the Google Play Integrity API on GrapheneOS. I understand that banking apps use it to try to protect me, but I doubt that Meta has good intentions when WhatsApp uses the integrity API to interrogate my phone.

Is Meta creating a database of Android users who have a non-standard Android version?

#playintegrityapi, #grapheneos.

#Competition authorities should keep an eye on the moves by #Android to push attestation for secure apps (e.g. banking apps) to the server through the #PlayIntegrityAPI, encouraging firms to make non-#GooglePlay versions of ‘open source’ Android impractical. See eg #GrapheneOS’s compatibility guide grapheneos.org/articles/attest
