I’m picking up a new Google Pixel and want to put GrapheneOS on it. Heard about Graphene since before their splits at CopperHead, but I havent had the chance the try the OS out. So I searched around and GrapheneOS allowed Google Play sandbox.

Does this function similar to a “Private Space” on newer Android or “Secure Folder” on Samsung? So I can enjoy the Graphene stuff but whenever I need Google Play specific apps, I use the sandbox environment?

Mostly, I will be using bank apps under the sandbox. Are there problems with OTP in this environment? In Samsung’s Secure Folder, my bank app will have problems sending OTP unless I send it outside, i.e. out of Secure Folder.

    The opposite happened for me. Separating out Google services to another profile made me realize how little I need to interact with Google Play Services to use my phone on a daily basis.
