      How many people have you seen use GrapheneOS in public?

          Not people you know, a random civilian. Highly doubt that you have walked past a random civilian who uses GrapheneOS. It just makes you stand out way more and is extremely rare to find a random person using GrapheneOS

            I’m not looking at strangers’ phone screens close enough to figure out if they’re using GOS but I’ve noticed strangers using GOS a fair few times. Likely would a lot more if I were looking for it but I’m not trying to read everyone’s phone screens…

            It’s a fairly common OS and it’s fairly widely acknowledged that GOS is a big driver for Pixel sales.

            I use it whenever I travel. I just say it’s lightweight and my phone runs better on it
