Oddbean new post about login | logout It would be useful if the airplane mode toggle required authentication in GrapheneOS.
I didn't get it. Like, if turning it on and off of airplane mode was something only you could do (ensured by OS's auth mechanism)?
Exactly!
Hey Max, on a semi related note, do you use any VoIP services that play well with grapene (I don't have play services installed if that matters)?
Signal & Jitsi work well. But I don't receive or make legacy phone calls for many years.
That's quite the achievement! I still have so many contacts who only use legacy calls :(
I agree.

It would work much better in a phone with an e-sim instead of a regular SIM card, but I removed the toggle to turn on airplane mode and the toggle to turn off and on mobile data from all of my quick settings. Mind you, if the phone was ever stolen, the person could just pull the SIM card and be good. But with an e-SIM device, not being able to pull the SIM card and not having access to airplane mode and turning off mobile data, would cause them major problems.
