I really think we need some wiggle room to manage updates in GrapheneOS. While I understand that forced updates help maintain security, the current system is hurting the user experience.
Recently, I’ve had to log in again to every banking, ID, and national app multiple times, and I’ve missed important notifications because of these forced updates. It’s genuinely frustrating, and it makes daily use quite difficult.
We absolutely need a way to schedule or snooze updates, so users can install them at a convenient time. Even though it’s technically possible to delay updates now, the process is too user-unfriendly for most people. If this continues, it will discourage adoption (even I have seriously considered switching to another OS because of how disruptive this issue has become).
Please consider adding a built-in option to manage or postpone updates gracefully. Security and usability shouldn’t have to conflict — a little flexibility would go a long way toward keeping users happy while staying secure.
