• GrapheneOS on X — Google can either permit GrapheneOS in the Play Integrity API in the near future
• GrapheneOS on X — If Authy insists on using it, they should use the standard Android hardware attestation API to permit using GrapheneOS too. Banning 250k+ people with the most secure smartphones from using your app is anti-security, not pro-security.
• GrapheneOS on X — Authy simply delegated checking device integrity to Google. It's Google choosing to block GrapheneOS users from using Authy. Google chooses to allow using a device with no security patches for the past 8 years but bans using an OS much more secure than the stock Pixel OS.

• GrapheneOS on X — We've become aware of another company selling devices with GrapheneOS while spreading harmful misinformation about it to promote insecure products. We're making our usual attempt at resolving things privately. However, we need to quickly address what has been claimed regardless.
