Google is ‘inspired’ yet again by GrapheneOS.
We are so far ahead and this shows how far behind the curve Android 17 is with this, we had it implemented on Android 13 in May 2023.

Our release for it:

All the while damaging the innovators by refusing to whitelist the leading privacy and security focused OS and pushing the anti-competitive monopolistic Play Integrity API , GMS licensor protection racket.
Nothing new about what is being offered. Everything we’ve done and do is provided without strings FREE, while Google moves to make you opt-in to their platform for less robust provision or to make OEMS pay for it.
I wonder if GrapheneOS was inspired by the Xposed privacy modules that spoofed the contact list for non-whitelisted apps I used back in 2015…
