We're well into the process of converting the Messaging app included in GrapheneOS into a modern app. We'll be making a new release later today with a completely overhauled user interface written in Android Compose. We've made a massive amount of other improvements and bug fixes beyond that too.
If I’m reading the clipboard part right, and seems people on the forms are thinking the same;
If an app can only access clipboard content that it set, does that mean we can’t copy/paste between apps? That would be ridiculous.
Does the act of pressing “paste” over right the block, and GrapheneOS will only block the background access apps have?
I like IOS approach, where it asks you before pasting “this app is trying to copy from another app”, and you can allow or decline it. But it is really annoying sometimes.
They mention permissions so my guess, without seeing it in action, is the permission is to be able to access the global clipboard, otherwise you’re just using an isolated clipboard.
Also they mention the keyboard having a paste button as a fallback for misbehaving apps, but IDK if that locks you into using GOS’ very mediocre keyboard.
