GrapheneOS opposes authoritarianism. It's a core part of why we're building privacy technology as part of a non-profit open source project. We're opposed to it regardless of whether it comes from left, center or right. The flood of people lying about what we believe and have said won't change this.

GrapheneOS update downloads are usually around 20MB to 80MB when updating from a recent release. The download for updating from our final Android 16 QPR2 release to Android 17 ranges from 620MB to 760MB depending on device model. We're in the process of rolling it out to the Stable channel now.

Just filed an EU DMA complaint against Alphabet for gatekeeping against secure Android derivatives like @grapheneos.org via Play Integrity. TL;DR: not certified ≠ not secure. Google lacks a FRAND certification process for non-OEMs that comply with objective security requirements.

Download Manager is an Android component handling long-term HTTP(S) downloads for apps in the background. Apps with the INTERNET permission (GrapheneOS Network toggle) can offload their downloads to it. Download Manager doesn't trigger any connections itself. developer.android.com/reference/an...

Hyundai and Kia added official GrapheneOS support to their apps months before Volkswagen banned GrapheneOS: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/31697-myhy... Pressure from Volkswagen customers on them can achieve the same thing. There's no legitimate reason to ban GrapheneOS so they'll undo it with pressure.

Google shipped an out-of-band update to droidguard breaking using RCS with sandboxed Google Play. We've already fixed it and it will be included in the OS release we're making later today (2026062300). That will likely be our first Android 17 to reach our Stable channel. github.com/GrapheneOS/p...

Our community is helping us test the initial release of GrapheneOS based on Android 17. It's working very well for most people with very few issues. We've resolved the main regressions reported to us already. We'll start builds for a 2nd public release based on 17 later today after a few more fixes.

We built an initial release of GrapheneOS based on Android 17 (2026061700) but aren't going to release it through our Alpha channel due to discovering a serious upstream bug. Android 17 broke support for sideloading updates via recovery unless the OS images are large enough to exhaust COW space.

Today is the official release day for Android 17. We've already fully ported GrapheneOS to Android 17 and are in the process of pushing the code to our public repositories. We're building a final official release based on Android 16 QPR2 today and we'll do an initial Android 17 release tomorrow.

Mike Kuketz has never had any role in the GrapheneOS project. He certainly isn't a GrapheneOS developer. He uses GrapheneOS and has a widely known privacy blog and community where he has written about it. That doesn't somehow make him part of GrapheneOS. x.com/CryptoCyberi...

June 2026 Android Security Bulletin notes CVE-2025-48595 is being exploited in the wild. It's being widely misreported in tech media as a 0-day vulnerability being exploited. That's a major misunderstanding of Android Security Bulletins and how poorly OEMs keep up with patches.

The first public release of GrapheneOS Speech Services is now available in our App Store. After installing it, it can be activated as a text-to-speech service by tapping it in Settings > System > Language & region > Speech > Text-to-speech output > Preferred engine and approving it in the dialog.

A fresh install of GrapheneOS has far lower idle power usage than the stock Pixel OS. Power usage while active is comparable. Making a similar setup to the stock Pixel OS by installing sandboxed Google Play and a couple dozen apps doing a bit of background work will result in similar battery life.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

CVE-2026-0073 is a Critical severity Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability included as the only vulnerability fixed in the May 2026 Android Security Bulletin. GrapheneOS first shipped the patch in our 2026030501 security preview release on March 5th. It also isn't nearly as severe as it sounds.

GrapheneOS isn't vulnerable to the 3 recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerabilities named Copy Fail, Copy Fail 2 and Dirty Frag. Current Android Open Source Project SELinux policies block exploiting all 3 bugs. Standard AOSP GKI kernel configuration also has 2/3 of the vulnerable features disabled.
