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.

    An app with root access can easily bypass the statistics gathered by these apps, unless those apps are run as root.

    I don’t know Hypathia, I’d suggest grabbing something from the Play Store (through Aurora, if you must).

    If you degoogled your phone through a different ROM, the app is probably triggering on the fact you’re running with an unlocked bootloader rather than just root access.

      Im not running with a different ROM, but I did unlock the bootloader in case I did ever find a way to root my phone/install a custom ROM, I wouldn’t lose my data.

        This is your problem. Big ROM makers typically have a list of banking apps they work with. Could also happen if you don’t have Play Services.
