This "novel" feature is already supported by GrapheneOS and set to trigger after 18 hours by default, with the option for the user to adjust it to their preference. There is no good reason to force the choice of 72 hours on everybody. That's a user-hostile design decision.

How is Graphene working for you?

Not OP, but very well!! The only things that don't work for me are Google Pay and Android Auto, which is a shame but I can live without both of those.

GrapheneOS supports Android Auto now! I use it every day.

That kinda sucks. I don’t carry cash or a credit card anymore. I just pay with my phone.

Upgrade. Auto is supported now.

GrapheneOS is great. I’m on iOS 18 for now (until I get a new Pixel after I got one stolen days ago) and I can’t wait to go back to GrapheneOS.

Android Auto works well for me on Graphene (Pixel 9 Pro) but I obv can't make GPay work given that it relies on the OS having Google's blessing and they are actively hostile to GOS as a project.

Not OP. But I am using GrapheneOS for almost 4 months now. It is a breath of fresh air. Network Permission, Contact Scope, Duress PIN, Hardened Malloc, JIT tuning, Sandboxed Google Play etc.. are some key privacy and security features in Graphene. Will never go back to Apple's or Google's surveillance platforms.

I have been meaning to try it. Is it best to get a new phone, or will any old model work fine?

You absolutely want a somewhat modern Pixel

Not OP either. It's quite "buggy" (honestly too many to list, mostly UI issues, app issues that can either be attributed to the OS or the app)...but overall I'm happy because of all the great features.

Auto absolutely works these days but Google Pay definitely doesn't and probably won't ever
