I hear many people say that the Google Pixel is good for privacy, but is it?

I'm asking this because I find it weird, of all the companies, Google having the most “privacy”.

Does the Gmail app work in grapheneOS?

[–] trippingonthewire@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yes it should although you may not get notifications of emails. I'd use ProtonMail or Tutanota instead anyway.

Gmail will work fine, including push notifications, assuming you enable Google Play Services. Using either will of course come at the cost of privacy.
