    I mean its still Googles OS it is still Android. Where did this idea start coming from that Graphene is not Android come from or an alternative to Android. It is fucking Android.

      I mean, yeah, both are based on AOSP, but one of them is more secure than the other. And that one isn’t the one that works with the UK govt ID app.

      They didn’t mention the word Android once, they were talking about Google. That’s also not right as GrapheneOS is based on Android which is developed by Google. Sandboxed Google Play Services are still Google Play Services. People aren’t always exact with their language but we know what they mean. I can’t see that there is an idea around of GrapheneOS not being based on Android.
