@beistanbul@mastodon.social @eteryu@infosec.exchange If you're not on Android 17 then every app with network access has local network access.
If you're on Android 17 then apps targeting Android 17 lack access to local networks by default. Apps not yet targeting Android 17 can now have it taken away after installation.
GrapheneOS can eventually remove the backwards compatibility mode in a couple years. It doesn't make sense to immediately drop it and break compatibility with apps which aren't behind on target API level.

Is it possible to take away from all apps by default? Also now enabling local network requires granting nearby devices which would allow bluetooth beacons too right?
