Curious what people think.

Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?

I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.

Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.

    No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app’s permissions, as you mentioned.

    […] and as another user said they are somewhat sandboxed.
