Which Google apps/pixel exclusive features do you (still?) use on GrapheneOS??

Ixirup The NSA doesn't give a damn about your data, they want to know what the world will be like in 35/50 years. They're paid to predict. There you have it. Nobody cares about your life.

In theory, but not in practice, not for more than 20 years. There is no firewall between the NSA and the FBI. This is well documented - here is just one example: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jan/10/fbi-reveals-it-uses-cia-and-nsa-spy-americans/

@Ixirup Today's example:

In October 2022, an FBI specialist broke the rules by running "a query using the Social Security number of a state judge who 'had complained to FBI about alleged civil rights violation perpetrated by a municipal chief of police.'" (Source: "Just declassified: US senator caught up in Section 702 FBI surveillance dragnet")

This sort of thing goes on all the time, generally not mentioned until somebody "important" is affected. If regular people like us are surveilled, we will never find out.

Google camera, photos and gboard (for swipe in spanish) with network denied.

I am tempted to install google maps in incognito mode too, but for the moment I use it in a secondary profile.

I use Pixel Camera (formerly Google Camera) and Google Photos in a profile without Google Play (GSF, GPS and Play Store) and live with some missing functions. For a quick lookup I use Google Maps in the browser.

For navigation, I have installed Google Maps in another profile that runs sandboxed Google Play anyway.

The hurdle I can't seem to overcome is Google Wallet (for ticketed events). Ticketmaster simply will not make .pkpass files for tickets available, and my state went all in on the Covid hysteria so paper tickets pretty much don't exist here anymore.
Beyond that, GoogleTV/YouTube get usage because there's simply too much video content tied up there from before I took privacy as seriously as I do now, and AndroidAuto is way easier to utilize while driving than Bluetooth and a dash mount. All permissions are as limited as they can be in these instances.
