        I’ll be switching to GrapheneOS myself soon.

        Quick question: can I use the default camera that comes with Pixel on GrapheneOS? I’m going to be using a Pixel 7

          Do you mean the Pixel Camera app? You can install that like a normal app from the Play Store. I’m using Open Camera instead though.

            Wait, you serious?

            Losing camera functionality is really the only thing that’s been holding me back at this point!

              Google/Pixel Camera is in the GrapheneOS App Store, you don’t even need the Play Store or Google account to install and use it

      Read the article

      Now Apple devices use a similar nudity-blur system called Communication Safety – it uses on-device machine learning to analyze potentially unsafe photo and video attachments and is enabled by default.

      Apple has the exact same tech

        Yes, but the android people are annoyed because they can’t remove it from their precious customizable OS.

        Edit: there they are.

          Android people are annoyed because it’s an invasion of their privacy. Apple people should be annoyed by this too. This isn’t a team game it’s a political issue.

      We’ve been quiet for years now. Google’s been on a path to turn Android into a locked down system for many years at this point.

          No, despite Google’s gradual loving down of Android, it’s still leagues ahead of Apple in terms of openness.

          Edit: I meant “locking”, but the original is funnier

              No, open forever. The core of android is open source. It’s the reason that projects like GrapheneOS exist.
