Security Hardening

GrapheneOS hardens memory allocation to prevent exploitation, strengthens the app sandbox, adds exploit mitigations, and improves permission controls. These changes make it significantly harder for attackers to compromise your device.

Sandboxed Google Play

GrapheneOS runs Google Play Services in a sandbox with no special privileges. Apps that require Google services work normally while Google cannot access system-level data. This is a breakthrough compromise between privacy and compatibility.

Privacy Features

Network permission per app, sensor permission controls, storage scopes, and the ability to run profiles with separate data create fine-grained privacy control. Each app gets only the access you explicitly grant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which phones support GrapheneOS?

GrapheneOS supports Google Pixel phones, which have the strongest hardware security features on Android. Pixel 6 and newer are recommended.

Can I use banking apps on GrapheneOS?

Most banking apps work with sandboxed Google Play Services. Some apps that aggressively check for device integrity may not work. Test critical apps before fully switching.

Is GrapheneOS better than iOS for privacy?

GrapheneOS provides more transparency (open source), finer permission controls, and no data collection. iOS offers convenience and strong default security but sends telemetry to Apple.
