    @[email protected] Then why are you claiming it offers better privacy than GrapheneOS?

    CalyxOS comes with some Google services that it always uses, more than the ones you are listing, and no it does not strip out any information whatsoever.

    Aside from that, microG is a privileged implementation of Google services. It does use multiple Google services. Saying people don’t install Google services is meaningless. It comes with them built into the OS with privileged access unavailable to regular apps.

      @[email protected] It does not implement basic privacy features needed for parity with iOS. iOS 18 added an equivalent to the core Contact Scopes feature set, just not selecting specific subsets of data. Earlier iOS already essentially had most of Storage Scopes. We also fix some more minor privacy issues needed for parity.

      CalyxOS does implement a bunch of misguided changes mainly taken from LineageOS, a lot of which either give a false sense of privacy or even reduce it compared to standard Android.
