GrapheneOS Pixel Feature Compatibility
A community-maintained reference detailing which Google Pixel features function in GrapheneOS.
Please note that GrapheneOS is intended to be a secure and private operating system. Any issues with Pixel exclusive features are not neccessarily the fault of the GrapheneOS team. A lot of unsupported features require privileged system access and/or proprietary software and therefore likely won't be added to GrapheneOS.
[!IMPORTANT]
Some features may require Sandboxed Google Play Services to be installed. If you discover a feature which is listed as supported but does not work without Sandboxed Google Play Services, feel free to submit an issue so we can update the documentation.
[!NOTE]
This list is not fully complete and information could be inaccurate. Contributions are always welcome!
