GrapheneOS enables the privacy indicator for location data access in - addition to the standard Android camera and microphone indicators. This shows - an indicator when an app the user has granted permission to access location - requests location data. We also resolve various UX issues with this feature as - it currently exists in AOSP to get it into a highly usable state.
- -The indicator works the same way as the Camera and Microphone ones, showing - a bright green icon when location access occurs which then gets minimized to a - small bright green dot when the quick settings tray isn't currently opened. - Android 12 already includes Location with the other standard runtime - permissions in the privacy dashboard for viewing the history.
- -This will likely become a standard feature in Android 13 at which point it - will be removed from this page.
-GrapheneOS adds support for disabling user installed apps instead of only - being able to disable system apps. This allows users to completely prevent one - of the apps they've installed from being able to run without being forced to - uninstall it and lose their app data. This is much stricter than the standard - force stop feature which only prevents an app from starting itself and the app - will start running again as soon as another app tries to open an activity or - service it provides.
