The cloud photo backup cannot be end to end encrypted because google can process the images server side and you can view the photos online.
Comviq If i understand you correct, you have been using gos for some years. And now you think you could use stock android on a pixel and make it private? And safe from sharing your private information?
To be honest I was getting bored with the lack of updated on GrapheneOS. There hasn't been many feature additions for some time. Stock has some very cool features like call screening, hold for me, etc.
That being said, having tried the stock P8P for a bit, I'm very tempted to just flash GOS. I was looking at the list of built in services and there must be over a hundred present which are absent on my other GOS phone. It even has stuff for verizon when I'm in a completely different country...
Comviq And safe from sharing your private information?
I've found over 10-20 toggles that are burried deep within the settings for various things which disable some of the telemetry, but ultimately there is no way to know unless you go to the effort of rooting the phone, installing a CA cert and intercepting all the traffic which I don't have time to do.
