Curious what people think.

Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?

I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.

Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.

    I don’t think most apps even access sensors. I also think disabling it is not necessary, more so if you don’t allow network for an app. Though some (google) apps may still send data to Google via Play Services, supposedly.

    I wouldn’t worry about it, but you need to decide for yourself. Usablilty is also an important factor, pixels aren’t cheap at least where I live.
