GraphenOS offers that, since the Playstore/Google Applications are non privileged applications.
Big Plus for being easy installable from the Graphenos Appstore Applications. It currently offers 8 applications and 4 of them are GraphenOS own applications.

- popol12 2y agoIt’s only available for Pixels.
- GordonS 2y agoAh, that would do it!
- astroid 2y agoIt's due to hardware reasons just as an FYI - I forget the specifics, so forgive me if this is dated, but I believe it had to do with some crypto-specific chip if I remember right.
- ranger_danger 2y agoYeah the proprietary blackbox security chip that they pinky promised to open source but never did...
