What is GrapheneOS?

GrapheneOS is an open-source, privacy and security-focused operating system designed for smartphones. It is built on Android but completely removes Google’s tracking and data collection.

At PrivacyPros, we install and configure GrapheneOS on new Google Pixel phones to deliver some of the highest levels of mobile privacy and security available in 2026. The result feels like a normal Android phone – but much safer, more private, and free from ads and surveillance.

Key Features:

• Zero Tracking by Default – No hidden data collection. Your location, app usage, searches, and personal information stay private.
• Simple Privacy Controls – One-tap toggles to disable camera, microphone, location, sensors, and more. Strong Security Defences – Verified Boot detects tampering, automatic memory clearing, app sandboxing (isolating apps so they can’t spy on each other), and advanced exploit protection.
• Long-Term Security Updates – Up to 7 years of security patches on supported Pixel devices, keeping your phone protected against new threats.
• Anonymous App Access – Install apps privately through trusted stores like Aurora Store and F-Droid without needing a Google account. Optional sandboxed Google Play is available if required.
• Emergency Protection Tools – Duress PIN that can instantly wipe sensitive data – especially useful for travellers and professionals.

Minor Drawbacks and how we help

There can be a small learning curve for complete beginners, and some apps may require minor adjustments or the use of sandboxed Google Play for full functionality.

PrivacyPros removes these hurdles by:

• Pre-configuring every phone using our 100+ point standards
• Providing clear, beginner-friendly Australian manuals
• Offering a free 20-minute support call with Pro Bundles.
