In a recent social media update, the GrapheneOS team announced that the anticipated release of the revamped Messages app has experienced a slight delay, now set to follow the upcoming OS release.

The team is now dedicated to developing applications and privacy controls that further diminish Google’s influence, marking a significant evolution in their approach to mobile security.
