I've been using GrapheneOS for a month now.

I would say that I'm happy to be farther disconnected from Alphabet Corp. I'm glad not to have so many Google apps on my phone that I cannot remove.

Complaints being I miss some small silly things like being able to say "Hey, Google" then ask a question or set a timer which I often do for tasks.

My biggest complaint is the keyboard experience seems to be rough. The autocorrect/grammar seems funky. I still mess with the settings. Could be my own fault. The emoji keyboard is the biggest issue. It seems to be missing a third of the emojis. The fact that I do not have a cucumber emoji available to me is ridiculously upsetting.

the keyboard is awful. cannot search emojis. can't search text messages either. no "do not disturb" feature and it seems to need to restart to update every night. but yes, FUCK GOOGLE. so its worth it lol

2 months in and I love it.

🥒 (sent from graphene, unexpected keyboard) home assistant is an alternative to the hey google stuff, but it's a moderate commitment

FUTO keyboard and FUTO voice typing are superior to the default

So, they’re still using unsupported apps, nice.🤦🏻‍♂️ Also, there was another option if you wanted to break away from Google, join #teamapple, you would get the same level of security without having to jump through hoops. 😁

What phone are you running it on? Been debating this myself

I haven't updated in a while. Does the keyboard let you drag to write letters instead of tapping one by one?? 🫠🎲

You can install the Google keyboard (Gboard) and GraphineOS allows you to remove Internet access for that app. Still private
