Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

    I don’t understand most of those terms, but uh, sounds good?

    Permission toggles that mean something, battery life and no bloat ware sound great to me.

      Yeah those three things by themselves are worth switching for. Add to that the great security features and it’s basically the ideal smartphone.

      Permission toggles are are what things apps have access to, Grapheneos gives:

      • Sensors permission (this is how your phone can use sensors to determine if you are walking, moving, how far your phone is away from your face)

      • internet permission toggle (this allows you to control what apps can directly connect to the internet)

      • Storage Scopes (You can control what files or directory any app that uses legacy storage permissions have access to instead of blank allowing all files access to the app)

      • Contact Scopes (This allows, like Storage Scopes, for you to control what apps can access contacts and who’s contact the app can or can not see)

      You can and should give https://grapheneos.org/features a read.

      As for banking apps, depending on what they are, may work. Paypal and some others work.
