Sounds like the other shoe just dropped on all the people who've been religiously swearing by GrapheneOS.

And you couldn't use your current phone for that? That is in cases where you have no choice left, and where your identity is known regardless. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good: just because this anti-feature may not work, doesn't mean you can't have better standards overall (assuming you're coming from a regular OS).
