I’m picking up a new Google Pixel and want to put GrapheneOS on it. Heard about Graphene since before their splits at CopperHead, but I havent had the chance the try the OS out. So I searched around and GrapheneOS allowed Google Play sandbox.

Does this function similar to a “Private Space” on newer Android or “Secure Folder” on Samsung? So I can enjoy the Graphene stuff but whenever I need Google Play specific apps, I use the sandbox environment?

Mostly, I will be using bank apps under the sandbox. Are there problems with OTP in this environment? In Samsung’s Secure Folder, my bank app will have problems sending OTP unless I send it outside, i.e. out of Secure Folder.

    Create a private space. Install sandboxed google play in there. Install banking app or any other google play dependant app in private space.

    That’s the most reasonable and less hassle method in my opinon. Lock it down when not in use. Cons? no push notification when locked down.
