Perhaps I phrased it a bit badly but the developers say that they sandbox Google Play as they would for any other app installed on the device. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play I unfortunately can’t speak to what they mean by sandboxed Google Play being ‘close to fully functional’ as I haven’t used it yet. I’ve also been trying to replace notification push servers for msg notifications as those are usually routed through Google services. This article has a short explanation of what I’m referring to: https://medium.com/@KaushalVasava/push-notification-in-android-how-its-work-2679d0bc0720 https://medium.com/@KaushalVasava/push-notification-in-andro... Like others have mentioned, I was also referring to the connectivity checks as well. GrapheneOS maintains some servers to provide the same service which the Google equivalents do, just without actually talking to Google.
