Privacy and security on computing devices need to become far stronger to protect people from pervasive violations of their rights.

Growing numbers of internet connected devices are incorporated into botnets. This harms the privacy and security of the internet as a whole through heavily pushing it towards centralization behind services such as Cloudflare. Insecure devices without security patches harm the internet as a whole. It isn't only embedded devices but also desktops, mobile devices and servers being used as part of these botnets. It isn't only people with these insecure devices who are harmed. It can get much worse.
We're building GrapheneOS to protect everyone's privacy and security. It's aimed at widespread adoption and is highly usable. It's compatible with the vast majority of Android apps. It has major privacy benefits for every user including stopping a lot of data collection by apps and services with a better permission model increasingly addressing being coerced to grant access. GrapheneOS has many users with little technical knowledge and isn't hard to install or use.

We're continuing to work on improving privacy, security, usability and app compatibility for all of our users. Contact Scopes, Storage Scopes, per-app Sensors toggle, VPN leak protection and many other features we provde are very important privacy protections. We're building alternatives to the Camera, Microphone and other permissions too. Our major improvements to exploit protections are there to protect user privacy. Privacy depends on security and that's why we heavily work on security too.

Contrary to what's often claimed, GrapheneOS is far more usable and requires far less sacrifice compared to other alternatives. Providing far better protection against sophisticated exploits isn't at the expense of that. Our opt-in sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer combines privacy and high usability. We're gradually making replacements for more Google services apps rely on. Location services, network-based location, geocoding and more has already been replaced and much more is coming.

️ Thank you for your awesome work! -
Attackers continue improving their exploits of privacy and security weaknesses. Commercial exploit tools are increasingly widely deployed for broad attacks. Software has a very high density of privacy and security vulnerabilities. LLMs are accelerating both vulnerability discovery and exploit development. For most computing devices, defense is increasingly far behind offense. iOS and GrapheneOS are exceptional cases not representative of degrading privacy and security across computing devices.
Thank you for your work
Its not subject but google pixel 11 will have titan m3
For motorola with grapheneos for 2027/2028/2029 ? have you project for add secure element open source ?
https://tropicsquare.com/tropic01 its used in trezor safe 7, its really securised for physic attack

@GrapheneOS I LOVE GRAPHENEOS 🥰

Hello Grapheneos team,
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for your great work. Grapheneos is an excellent project, and it really shows how much effort and quality you put into it. Much appreciated!
I also had a quick question: do you provide your own UnifiedPush service/server, or are users expected to rely on external UnifiedPush providers? Is there any plan to offer an integrated UnifiedPush solution in the future?
Thanks again, and best regards

GrapheneOS provides a massive upgrade for privacy and security over the standard Android Open Source Project. GrapheneOS is nowhere near good enough and we have an enormous amount of work to do improving both. Our work is an ongoing process and doesn't have an end point. Privacy and security heavily involve competition between attackers and defenders. Most defenders are making little progress and falling increasingly far behind.
@GrapheneOS And sadly nowadays, the attackers include both governments and multi-billion dollar companies...

@GrapheneOS I can completely vouch for that. I havent had one app that doesnt work on my Graphene. Revolut works brilliantly, DigiD, healthcare apps as well. At the same time I get to enjoy amazing FOSS alternatives both by GrapheneOS team and other developers.
And unlike my previous android, i also wont be shackled by Google's poor decisions to lock down android. iPhones are very secure but why build your own cage by using a vendor lock-in software and hardware? One should own their device! -

Privacy and security on computing devices need to become far stronger to protect people from pervasive violations of their rights. Users have their privacy pervasively violated by corporations, criminals and governments. There are endless privacy and security weaknesses in software with exploits of those happening on a large scale. Operating systems, browsers and other apps need to do a much better job protecting users. Enormous progress is needed on both privacy and security.
@GrapheneOS There won't be any progress possible until :
• You acknowledge and fight complexity, by all means, because it's the root cause of current situation.
• You end kneeing on imposed standards in digital tech, because they are driving complexity.
• You join a crypto-anarchist federation to discuss these topics and efficient strategies, and elaborate new standards bringing simplicity.
