    What is the issue with the permission model. It's basically the AOSP permission model. The changes made by GrapheneOS is the user-facing toggle for the INTERNET permission, and the…

    The access comes from GrapheneOS' OEM partner who isn't breaking any kind of NDA.

    Anything 8th gen and later would be best, as those models support MTE which is a huge security feature not present on 6th or 7th gen hardware. Our recommended devices can be found …

    Well, there are examples such as Yuh and Swissquote which are using Play Integrity API and also using hardware attestation to specifically allow GrapheneOS. The latter is in the pr…

    We recently made it so that the call recording option is not hidden away. If there are 7 options, it's RTT that will be the last one now, and we've made the scroll bar always be vi…

    We use Flarum for our forum, but Discourse similarly only allows one to view forum posts without JavaScript enabled.

    Pixel 10 will be supported by GrapheneOS provided it continues to meet our requirements - we'll know when it's out. It'll definitely take us longer than it has before. A collaborat…

    >No evidence provided, as usual. You should watch Rossmann's video on Linus - he has a habit of doing these hit pieces.

    We don't really strive for perfection. Pixels aren't really perfect and there are numerous suggestions we could make today for Pixels to drastically improve their hardware. Our req…

    >Complete Bullshit. Provide links to the videos, otherwise that is another evidenceless attack and just confirms your pattern. I assume you're not disputing that Rossmann has a ver…

    It is genuinely very strange that you're relying on people simply not clicking the link you're providing. The person who swatted Daniel spent days raiding our Matrix chat rooms, po…

    GrapheneOS does not degrade the camera quality at all. The quality will depend on the app being used. If you use Pixel Camera on GrapheneOS, you'd be getting the experience you'd g…

    Revolut currently works fine on GrapheneOS. If they decide to adopt Play integrity, it won't work unless they whitelist GrapheneOS, which banks have started doing.

    GrapheneOS community manager here: They weren't using Play integrity and we were able to work around what they were doing, so Revolut should work again. They can decide to use Play…

    It is possible to view the forum without JavaScript being enabled, but not sign in and post. We use Flarum for our forum, and that's a limitation of the platform.

    We use Apple's location service, not beaconDB. We want to eventually make it so that it all happens offline, without any online service being used for it.

    GrapheneOS isn't a project that plans to be an aftermarket OS forever. In fact, we're currently working with an OEM to have their devices have official GrapheneOS support. This can…

    Hi there. GrapheneOS community manager here. It's a weird video to bring up without any context. Louis Rossmann made that video and leaked private conversations that were had fairl…

    You can argue most bad people won't know about it - but I would say we can't really know. I think the main problem is that people can be affected that aren't even using it, which i…

    It's important to note that these "8 years" aren't actually that in practice due to the delays. The latest generations of Pixels (starting with the 8th) have 7 years of actual secu…

    Hi there. GrapheneOS community manager here. It's important to note that GrapheneOS is not some niche barely-used project. It has existed since 2014 and is used by multiple hundred…

    Fairphone do not meet our requirements and haven't really been trending towards meeting them generation-by-generation. It doesn't seem to be something that interests them. The unfo…
