#GrapheneOS is already based on #Android 16. They also deliver security fixes more quickly than Google itself.

Switching to GrapheneOS was the best phone-related decision I've made in years. I hope phones will be available for it in future. I just can't imagine going back to mainstream options that force you to choose between privacy and user freedom.

A screenshot of OS info screen in Czech. It says: Android version 16, security level July 5 2025.

@zoul AFAIK it's just donations at the moment. They're also looking into working with an OEM partner and making their own phone because there are doubts how much Pixels will stay open in the future.

@zoul Them being based on Pixels and Pixels only is the only reason is stay away from GrapheneOS. I'm currently picking out a new smartphone, and am choosing based on LineageOS compatibility and support status. Much wider selection, although not as wide as I'd like. :)

do you use a sim card based phone number or voip services?

from my understanding, if using a sim card based number it is trivial for your sim provider (and law enforcement or anyone else they sell your data to) to have an entire location history of your device from cell tower pings

@700fd80ae68e009ed3a97c942d266e35f8a4a226c709adc437af16ab8d05a793 I am aware of that. At least neither of the sim cards is directly linked to me. One is employer's and the other one is anonymous prepaid one.
