        GrapheneOS only supports phones that have official Google support - the reasoning is that there’s little point trying to make a phone secure if the closed source drivers no longer get security updates and might be full of vulnerabilities.

        Not sure if they’re gonna support newer Android versions on 6/7 series once they go into the security-updates-only support window.

    I’ve gone from the beta that I’ve been using since it came out, now to the beta QPR1 Beta 2

    Haven’t even seen the stable version. Probably should have opted out somewhere 🤣

      Yep, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a will not be getting anymore updates.

        With the 4a it’s close to a scam. But what do you expect from Goo “Don’t be evil” gle?

          I agree entirely with that sentiment. With this absurd abandonment of the 4a, the constant reports of owners not being able to dial 911, and my 4a randomly deciding one day to go into “emergency mode” and begin calling 911 on its own (while the phone was in my hand, I was just checking email, finger was nowhere near the power button to activate “emergency mode”), and the fact that the feature gap between Android and iOS is becoming narrower and narrower, I am seriously considering going back to iPhone 🙄

      I don’t know the issue you are speaking about but I cannot see significant difference between Android 13 and 14
