This is exactly why I don’t have graphene os, the irony of having to support google is too much for me call me paranoid but i also dont trust them with the hardware piece either lol. I’ve been running lineage os without gapps and its honestly great, updates and patches are every few weeks, super stable and awesome.

This is why I specifically pick phones that have custom ROM support. Then I don’t need to install gapps and I just use fdroid
