  • I think what I’ve heard (more or less) is that they are equally private but GrapheneOS is more secure. I don’t remember what the justification was though. I’m interested to see what replies your question gets.

    I’ve always seen CalyxOS as the version that is the more user friendly (easier installation, better support. At least as of few years ago. Things migh have changed now.)

    Personally what I question is the choice of GrapheneOS to use sanboxed Google play services rarher than the open source alternative micro-G. I can’t see how that’s better.






  • Thanks. But hypothetically even in that scenario if I’m offline and I want to turn VPN on, first I need toconnect to internet and then trought that initial connection communicate with the vpn server to turn VPan on. Right? So I’ll still be volnurable for a moment especially if a lot of app are programmed to sent data onlne the moment they find internet access.




  • If privacy is your goal you’ll probably achieve nothing or very little unless you fully delete your entire Facebook account. If you seek to improve your security maybe you should consider accesing Facebook only through a compartmentalized profile on your phone (CalyxOS and GrapheneOS allow for this not sure if regular android does as well). By creating a profile only for the privacy introusive social media you can’t avoid you can at least limit the data they can acces from the rest of the things on your phone. And by accesing it only on your phone and not pc you can also limit the number of devices you expose. Better on your phone rather on your pc since pcs don’t have good permition management at the OS level typically.
