GrapheneOS: Difference between revisions
added irrelevant tag. other than maintainer drama, I'm not really sure what is relevant to the wiki about grapheneOS. I suppose it's an example of a privacy-preserving mobile OS, but most of the time you'd want to reference that, it would be sufficient to link to GrapheneOS's Wikipedia page |
Added wikipedia article as a hyperlink. |

GrapheneOS, formerly known as CopperheadOS, is an open-source, security-focused, and Android-based operating system.[1] As of 2025, GrapheneOS only officially supports Google's Pixel product line because it is the only product that meets their security standard.[2]
Features
GrapheneOS advertises a multitude of features; most focusing on security. Although a more detailed list of features is provided at their website, a general list includes:
- 0-Day Exploit Defense[3]
- Attack surface reduction[4]
- Hardened USB-C Port and Pogo Pins control[5]
- Improved Sandboxing[6]
- Network Permission Toggle[7]
- Sensors Permission Toggle[8]
- Storage Scopes[9]
- Contact Scopes[10]
- Private Screenshots[11]
- Pin Scrambling[12]
- Two-Factor Fingerprint Unlock[13]
and more...[14]
Reception
Positive
German Security Researcher and Pentester Kuketz said that it was the "...gold standard of Android ROMs...".[15]
Cellularnews.com stated "GrapheneOS is arguably the best mobile operating system in terms of privacy and security."[16]
Negative
Louis Rossmann, a consumer rights advocate and influencer, praised the project, but criticized the Lead Developer, Daniel Micay. A conversation between the two accused Rossmann of promoting harassment, slander, and attempted murder of Micay for commenting on the YouTube creator Techlore's video stating: "This is informative, and unfortunate." Micay subsequently threatened to ban Rossmann from their Matrix channel, and accused him of being discriminatory of people with autism.[17]
