TL;DR
GrapheneOS claims Google and Apple are increasingly using device verification systems to lock users into their own hardware and software.
The platform says tools like Google’s Play Integrity, Apple’s App Attest, and Google’s reCAPTCHA systems make it harder to use alternative operating systems.
GrapheneOS argues these systems are deemed as security features, but they strengthen Google and Apple’s control over apps and web access.
GrapheneOS has posted a long thread on X, accusing Google and Apple of slowly making the internet and mobile apps more dependent on their own devices and software.
