    Yes, it has a sandboxed Google Play service and the Play Store app that you can enable which let’s you access apps with hard Google dependencies.

    If you want to use it as a regular Android phone it works for everything that doesn’t require Google’s hardware attestation (so, no using your phone for NFC credit card payments mostly). This limitation also affects LineageOS.

        You’re welcome.

        The installation is easy too. GrapheneOS has a WebUSB installation process that is basically plugging your unlocked phone into USB, allowing GrapheneOS WebUSB access, and pressing go. It takes maybe 10 minutes. (I went into it expecting manual jailbreak-level difficulty and was very surprised at how easy it was)
