      Google installs the module silently in the background automatically if you have Play Services, it is not related to your OS version. It can be removed with adb, or in some cases disabled

          IIRC Graphene has Play Services sandboxed specifically to avoid stuff like that but I’m still learning about how it all works slowly.

            GrapheneOS CAN have play services, which get sandbox. By default though, no play services.

        GrapheneOS comes with no play services out of the box.

          Yes but they didn’t say they installed GrapheneOS on their tablet, just their phone.
