We've developed a secure paste feature replacing traditional clipboard APIs. Users will be able to take away clipboard access from apps to use this instead. It integrates into the standard selection toolbar, input methods, accessibility services and keyboard shortcuts. We plan to get it merged soon.
We're well into the process of rewriting the Messaging app included in GrapheneOS into a modern app. We'll be making a new release of it later today with a completely overhauled user interface written in Android Compose. We've made a massive amount of other improvements and bug fixes to the app too.
GrapheneOS is partnered with Motorola Mobility which is Lenovo's mobile division.
In 2011, Motorola was split into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Google acquired Motorola Mobility in 2012 and sold it to Lenovo in 2014. Motorola Mobility is the company selling smartphones and tablets.
We're aware of claims spread on German social media about GrapheneOS being exploited. We looked into it in case there was substance behind it. OS and hardware security isn't actually much of a factor in the story. Instead, the central claim is disk encryption with a strong passphrase can be cracked.
Our replacement 9950X3D from AMD arrived today and is working well. RMA process took a bit under 2 weeks. It was sent back on the same day they provided a prepaid shipping label. It's a common issue with Ryzen 9000 X3D chips and they simply accepted it without questions.
We have good news about the Pixel 11. It still has at least bare minimum support for MTE at a hardware level. We think they removed most of the hardware acceleration from the CPU cache to save money. They ruined the performance so it ended up being fully disabled in firmware. It may still be usable.
Near the end of May 2026, Russia began filtering access to DataPacket IP space with an enforced domain allowlist for HTTP and TLS SNI. GrapheneOS services aren't on the allowlist so we had to switch from DataPacket Frankfurt to Cherry Servers Amsterdam for Russia. That's now getting filtered too.
