Your phone shouldn’t spy on you so I help you escape vendor lock-in by migrating to GrapheneOS on supported Pixel devices—a privacy-first, open-source mobile OS.

GrapheneOS is a modified Android 11 operating system that focuses on providing user security and privacy. It is actively maintained by a dedicated community of developers and is considered by many as the most secure consumer Android operating system available.

It substantially improves the security of the Android operating system and privacy of the apps running on it. The OS deploys technologies to mitigate whole classes of vulnerabilities and makes exploiting the most common sources of vulnerabilities much more difficult.

If you are looking for a higher level of privacy and security, and are comfortable making more compromises on the types of apps you use on your phone, a recommendation is to use GrapheneOS. See compatible devices here.

I have my GrapheneOS Pixel 6 Privacy Phone paired with the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Red Pocket, a 5GB @High Speed monthly plan delivering service for $180 per year (paid in advance). That's $15 a month and included unlimited Talk and Text!!

Your phone should work for you—not advertisers, carriers, or data brokers.
