If your having unsatisfying location, go through this guide to turn on Google everything for location.

You will need to grant “Allow all the time” Location access to Google Play services along with the Nearby Devices permission for it to have all the access it needs. You need to use the “Google Location Accuracy” link from the sandboxed Google Play configuration menu to access the Google Play services menu for opting into their network location service, otherwise this is all pointless

Sure that works fine

It’s fine.

If sending multiple files it’s a pain in the ass. Can’t select multiple and send at once, one at a time

Bsd and nix mixed together… What a world

In addition to this

• require pin to unlock, but fingerprints for apps

GOS has a nice feature

• require two factors to unlock, pin PLUS biometrics
• duress pin, wipe phone if used
• reboot phone if not unlocked in x hours

Of course it also has the standard AOSP mode

• private spaces, hide apps unless unlocked

Which is different than the

• workspaces, can use different biometrics

And if your very paranoid GOS supports many user profiles, which can all have their own distinct biometrics and pins, this works with their cross profile notification system. So you can keep your banking apps in a totally different profile and if you get mugged they won’t see the apps (or you could use private spaces as well)

Yeah, matrix bridge gives you the most flexibility. That’s what beeper does

And if you use GOS you can individually select which apps have any network access at all

Does Graphene OS allow MAC address randomization for bluetooth

Actually, I believe AOSP allows for a MAC address randomization when not connected to a device, but as the UCSD paper above indicates, it’s still quite fingerprintable

Welcome to the wonderful world of Bluetooth Mac address tracking, often used in stores to track the location of customers throughout the store. So yes absolutely Bluetooth tracking is a real thing, turning off your Bluetooth radio prevents your Bluetooth radio from being tracked.

Bluetooth beacons, which I believe most people are thinking of when they talk about air tags, or Bluetooth tiles, are a different thing entirely.

Bluetooth threats:

• a phones radio being tracked
• a Bluetooth beacon planted on someone

GOS let’s you disable Bluetooth automatically if your not using it. So yes, it protects against Bluetooth trackers that way.

If you mean the airtags and whatever google is calling their airtags, no, it’s not baked I to the osz but you can install apps to show you all the trackers in your vicinity
