@issotm@social.treehouse.systems @watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social You're conflating GrapheneOS with operating systems which are still based on Android 13, 14 and 15 with only a subset of patches assigned High/Critical severity backported to those by Google. Those OSes typically provide the subset of backported patches 1-2 months after the official date, but yet they can actually be shipped 3-4 months before their official date such as us having the current March 2026 patches already. Those OSes heavily roll back security features too.

@issotm@social.treehouse.systems @watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social Those operating systems also typically go many months and even many years without providing kernel, driver and firmware patches. For example, on Pixels, they haven't provided those patches since Android 16 was released in June 2025. We backported those patches to Android 15 QPR2 and then shipped Android 16 in June 2025. GrapheneOS successfully protects from sophisticated exploit tools such as Cellebrite Premium despite significant efforts from them to compromise it.
