- 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.
- European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone. xatakandroid.com/sociedad/cada-…
- We've received the Pixel 10 we ordered and have confirmed it supports unlocking, flashing another verified boot key and locking again. Our Pixel 10 support will likely only be possible to complete after we finish porting to Android 16 QPR1 which is being released in September.
- Revolut is specifically banning GrapheneOS by checking for the build machine hostname and username being set to grapheneos. We've changed these to build-host and build-user. Combined with another change, this allow our users to log in to it again until they roll out Play

- We're going to be moving forward under the expectation that future Pixel devices may not meet the requirements to run GrapheneOS (grapheneos.org/faq#future-dev…) and may not support using another OS. We've been in talks with a couple OEMs about making devices and what it would cost.
- One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been
- Unfortunately, @RevolutApp has banned GrapheneOS users from logging into the app because of an incorrectly implemented device integrity check based on the anti-competitive Play Integrity API. Our users need to put pressure on apps like this to get them to whitelist GrapheneOS.
- Replying to @ssamatIt's a strange time to talk about Android protecting users. Android recently changed the security update system in a way which massively downgrades security and puts users at risk. Commercial exploit companies and governments can easily obtain access to broadly distributedWe're seeing some speculation that AOSP is being discontinued. To be clear, AOSP is NOT going away. AOSP was built on the foundation of being an open platform for device implementations, SoC vendors, and instruction set architectures. AOSP needs a reference target that is
- Replying to @aravindGrapheneOS is a non-profit open source project and remaining that way. We aren't paying for any marketing and it's not becoming a business. Linus chose to review GrapheneOS based on using it as a daily driver for 30 days. How does this fairly positive review make it compromised?
- Replying to @CryptoCyberiaThis specific stuff won't impact GrapheneOS at all. There are things happening which do negatively impact us though. One example are more apps integrating the Play Integrity API to ban using anything other than the stock OS on Google Mobile Services devices.
- Unfortunately, PayPal permanently locked our GrapheneOS Foundation account today. No reason has been provided for the account being locked. All we've done is accept donations. We added our bank account information yesterday in order to begin withdrawing money and it was locked.
- We're going to be collaborating with a hardware vendor to get a device produced with comparable security and support for alternative operating systems as Pixels. We can't publish details right now but we're optimistic about it and hope to have real news about it in a few months.
