But do apps like Uber, WhatsApp etc work ok on it?


Uber and WhatsApp work well on /e/ and other Android distributions with microG.

For microG compatibility, Plexus rates Uber 3 out of 4 (good), and WhatsApp 4 out of 4 (perfect).

I can confirm that the map in Uber can be janky at times, but the app is otherwise fully functional. Both the Uber web app and the Lyft app (4 out of 4 on Plexus) work flawlessly.


Great, I didn't realise this had moved on so much.


I specifically use /e/ because of its seamless microG integration. Even banking apps work great on it.


Impressive. Do push notifications work in these kind of apps?


In my experience, yes.


Teams does for example.

SafetyNet checks fail by default, I think. As far as I understand it, you can play a cat-and-mouse game with it, but that's the best on a custom OS.
