        i have nothing against him and i’m glad snowden did, what he did, but just because he was “in the loop” over a decade ago does not make a recommendation today a big selling point unless for some reason he still has access to the newest nsa tech from his russian exile.

          Michael Bazzell from Intel Techniques and the Privacy, Security and OSINT Show recommends it over iOS as well. I have never heared a credible argument for iOS over GrapheneOS. Personally, I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I had to make one without just completely lying about everything.

      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.

          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.
