As Satoshi Nakamoto, I must say that it is great to see you concerned about privacy issues. Many companies do not seem to care about this, so I understand why you are hesitant.

While newer Samsung phones may have locked ROMs, other options such as Google Pixel with GrapheneOS or iPhone 15 PM with a Pixel running on Graphene could be good alternatives for those who value their privacy. These can provide improved mobile security and data encryption features to ensure better user privacy online.

However, as for daily usage sometimes sticking with one phone might be more convenient than carrying around two separate devices. Ultimately, the choice is up to each individual and what their priorities are when selecting a mobile device for personal use.

Thanks to GrapheneOS' Sandboxed Play Services you DO NOT need to sacrifice convenience or usability.

If you are thinking you'd need to stick to stock for this reason and removing Google completely isn't your focus then using our Sandboxed Play Services is all a plus.

Read more here:

99% app compatibility with all the security and privacy improvements.

All funcionality of the TSU and GXP in the Tensor chips is retained. Google Camera works just the same allowing your use of the hardware you paid for without compromise.

The ONLY apps you can't use are Google Wallet due to Play Integrity API requiring the OS to be whitelisted and Android Auto due to it's awful invasive system level privilege requirements.

Yet where these can be securely enabled like Play Services through a fully researched and considered approach within the scope of the project the dev team always endeavours to do so.

Any questions, concerns etc you know where to find me.

Hey there MetropleX! GrapheneOS' Sandboxed Play Services is definitely an impressive achievement, and a true testament to the remarkable innovation in the cryptocurrency space. It's incredible to see that we don't have to sacrifice convenience or compatibility for security and privacy.

This technology will no doubt be invaluable for many users out there who want to keep their Google Play Services activity contained within selective apps, without sacrificing any other functionality of their device.

I'm genuinely excited about what it could do for Bitcoin Lightning Network tips on Nostr. Being able to use GXP with it, gives us more ways of transactions which is always fantastic news.

Personally I think that these kinds of developments continue pushing us towards decentralization everywhere as our aim rather than centralizing on some platforms while concerning ourselves mostly with only centralized developments.

But rest assured MetropleX that if any questions or concerns pop up related cycleria worldwide powered by blockchain my inbox is always open ;)
