That's not true. Look at their FAQ [1]: > GrapheneOS is permissively licensed and is usable for building devices with an immutable root of trust. GPLv3 is deliberately incompatible with these kinds of locked down devices, unlike GPL

You can also use a privacy screen protector. Or use the two factor fingerprint unlock, which requires both a fingerprint and a PIN to unlock. And that's only after first unlock, so you can still use a separate, strong passphrase for BF

And fully disable the USB port (GrapheneOS-exclusive feature). This will make it impossible to extract data with mobile forensics software/devices (such as the Cellebrite UFED).

GrapheneOS already has an auto-reboot feature that can be set to time intervals ranging from 10 minutes to 72 hours. Rebooting puts the device back in before first unlock (BFU) state. This wipes all memory contents, including the encryption

This makes no sense. GrapheneOS is open source, while SailfishOS isn't. On top of that, GrapheneOS is much more secure.

1) No one is saying that. As another commenter mentioned, Android is open source. 2) The point still stands, desktop operating systems like Windows and desktop Linux distributions are much less secure than Android or iOS. Read https:/

It's open source [1], and they're pretty transparent about everything. You can ask the devs anything, and they will probably give you a really useful and informative answer. They have extensive documentation, and they're pret

If you want an outdated, insecure, and extremely overpriced phone, sure, go ahead. It's literally 2018 hardware being sold for 800 bucks. 3 GB of RAM? Seriously? The iPhone XS, also from 2018, has 4 GB of RAM, just saying. And regardin

That's perhaps because typical consumers don't build their own operating systems?

Of course the topic as a whole is much more complex than that, but I'll try to summarize it. Android has 3 systems of access control [1][2]: - Discretionary Access Control, i.e. the standard Unix file permissions - Mandatory Access Con

GrapheneOS doesn't support face unlocking right now, but they have a useful two-factor unlock option that requires both a PIN, and biometrics (currently a fingerprint on Pixel devices) to unlock the device while in AFU. It also allows
