Interesting response from GrapheneOS. Must save post
@grapheneos.org Have you thought about making a slightly less secure version of GraphineOS that can run on non-pixel phones? I know it won’t be up to your security standards, but I think many non-pixel owners would appreciate a more private phone if they’re stuck with less secure hardware already

Google and carriers deployed changes to RCS which have been breaking it for many users on the stock OS including with certain carriers and in whole countries. The changes appear to have specifically impacted GrapheneOS users too. It's not related to our September 8th update. We're working on it.

We have early access to Android Security Bulletin patches and will be able to set up a workflow where we can have releases already built and tested prior to the embargo ending. For now, we've still been doing the builds after the embargo ends. It will mainly help when they screw up pushing to AOSP.

Your claim at androidauthority.com/fairphone-ge... that /e/OS has refuted any of our points is inaccurate. None of what we said has been refuted. They largely didn't address what we talked about but did misdirection and provided inaccurate data easily proven false.

With the recent change in AOSP removing Pixel specific support. We got a huge amount of people saying we should support other devices or for us to support [insert device here] to escape BigG.
However this is a misframing of the situation.

Sorry, there will not be an Android version because there is no way to provide 100% anonymity. Each person's device ID would have to be stored and that information becomes discoverable should the government issue a subpoena.
Only iOS made this possible and completely protects the users.
