Our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer is open source code shipped as part of GrapheneOS which enables optionally installing and running Google apps as regular apps in the standard app sandbox without any special access, control or privileged integration into the OS.

Punkt. MC02 phone doesn't run GrapheneOS. It still runs a fork of Android 13 while GrapheneOS is solely based on Android 15. MC02 is clearly using the LineageOS update client, not the GrapheneOS update client. It's problematic that some people think it's a way to get GrapheneOS.

We're working on fixing a regression in the GrapheneOS releases based on Android 15 which resulted in a subset of users having a subset of their Network and Sensors toggle settings not migrated over from the Android 14 permission database to the Android 15 permission database.

GrapheneOS based on Android 15 will reach the Stable channel later today. It's very stable already and we've fixed a bunch of upstream bugs including several impacting the stock Pixel OS. We've made 7 official releases based on 15 already and the 8th is going to reach Stable.

We're preparing the changes for a new release of GrapheneOS based on Android 15. We've implemented over a dozen fixes, largely for new upstream issues impacting the Android Open Source Project. We also added a workaround for the new stock OS Android 15 factory reset protection.

Android 15 is being released today and we should be ready to quickly ship a release based on it as if this is a monthly update, not even a quarterly one. We already put together builds working well across all supported devices based on the Android 15 Beta and September sources.

There's a highly inaccurate article about Pixels from Cybernews making the rounds everywhere in privacy communities. It gets the details nearly completely wrong and thoroughly misrepresents things like the optional network-based location used nearly everywhere as Pixel specific.

Our understanding is that there will be a stable release of Android 15 on October 15th. We fully ported all our changes to it by September 3rd after the early source code release in September. We'll aim to have a release out within 24h of the stable release being pushed to AOSP.

GrapheneOS users on 8th/9th gen Pixels are making a massive contribution to getting memory corruption bugs in the open source ecosystem thanks to the nice crash report notifications created by our hardware memory tagging feature. One of the latest fixes:

Our latest release blocked a class of VPN leaks via multicast packets discovered by our community. Unfortunately, end-of-life Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a have an upstream kernel bug that's causing it to break compatibility with IPv6-only carriers. We're dealing with it.

Telegram has full access to all of the content of group chats and regular one-to-one chats due to lack of end-to-end encryption. Their opt-in secret chats use homegrown end-to-end encryption with weaknesses. Deleting the content from the app likely won't remove all copies of it.
