GrapheneOS version 2025030100 released

Great update! Two questions:

1. In Network Location what is the difference between Apple Server and GraphebeOS proxy? Choosing GraphebeOS proxy is the most secure and private choice, correct?
2. After I enable Network Location do I also have to enable Wi-Fi scanning in Location services or does enabling Network location not require that?

ToughDBlue After I enable Network Location do I also have to enable Wi-Fi scanning in Location services or does enabling Network location not require that?

And do we need to have WiFi enabled at all to get network based location ?

IamZorro You either need to have Wi-Fi enabled, or Wi-Fi scanning enabled. If you have Wi-Fi on, you don't need the scanning toggle. The scanning toggle just allows that to happen while Wi-Fi is off.

ToughDBlue See above.

As for your first question, the GrapheneOS proxy gets the information and passes it to Apple's service so it acts as an intermediary in that sense. If you have no qualms about contacting Apple's service directly, you can choose to do so.

matchboxbananasynergy Thank you for the replies to my questions

Probably related to version 2025022700, the preferred network settings include "4G" and "4G only". After selecting "4G", "4G only" is displayed.

This update took like 6 minutes to boot at first and I thought my phone bricked...ah thank god it didn't

Hat Hey, I am trying to reproduce this bug but unable to do so., can you please provide steps or your config info? (like what carrier are you on) and can you check/send logs?

Does the Graphene team strongly recommend always updating to the latest version right away for security purposes? I updated mine last month...not sure if that puts me at risk...

Is there a setting to allow the phone to automatically download only those GOS updates containing critical patches the Graphene team highly recommends?

K8y Basically every update either contains security updates or important bugfixes. It is highly recommended to always be on the latest release.

matchboxbananasynergy if I downloaded it in "beta mode" would I need to redownload again once it is in final ready status? (I only desire the final version).

Also is there an auto OS update feature in Graphene?

Thank you.

K8y *I wasn't sure since here it seemed to say updates are auto checked every 6 hours, but also says you need to go to settings then system update: https://grapheneos.org/usage#updates-security

K8y Updates are automatic. It downloads and installs it and then notifies you to reboot so that it can apply it. You don't need to anything other than that.

No, all releases are production releases, they just go through different release channels.

I'm experiencing two issues with the new stable release.

1. The new GrapheneOS wifi location services toggle is missing on other user profiles other than the owner. Does this carry forward to other profiles if enabled in the owner? I'm just confused because each profile still has the option to route location through play services instead of re-routing to the OS.

2. Pixel camera getagging doesn't work at all on the owner after the update. I've tried every combination of using the grapheneos proxy, using apple directly, and turning off the Network location feature completely and reverting back to routing through google play services rather than the OS. Pixel camera appears to require Play Services to have location enabled just for the location notification to pop up when I open the app. But, even if it does pop up - which most of the time it doesn't -- it still doesn't getotag the photos. The GrapheneOS camera isn't having these issues nor is Pixel camera having these issues on other user profiles with location going through Play Services. I also wasn't having geotagging issues before this update.
