GrapheneOS enhances Android privacy by isolating your device’s activity, providing a level of anonymity that’s not found in standard iOS and Android setups. In GrapheneOS, only you, the recipient, and the cellular mast you’re connected to are privy to your call information.
In contrast, with iOS and default Android, Apple and Google have visibility into all your connections. While there are many nuances to this, I hope this gives you a clearer picture.
pretty nice stuff, too bad one has to by a certain phone sold by google to take advantage of it.
It’s indeed an issue. Several manufacturers like Xiaomi or Samsung lock their devices, which can make it quite challenging or even impossible to install custom software. Ironically, Google is the most open vendor if you’re interested in customising your device.
