An internal Motorola presentation leak appears to confirm a GrapheneOS partnership for non-Pixel hardware, with an official announcement likely at MWC 2026.
Can I please know which model? As far as I know they can all be uninstalled (not just disabled) and they are the ones like Moto shopping and Moto this and that… all pretty much useless, but thankfully mine were not inbuilt apps.
Uggh… Then there are reinstallers! Highly annoying.
On my phone I disabled the google play store, installed FDroid and then Aurora (play store alternative of sorts). Blacklisted apps I don’t like, and also disabled auto install. Try and see if that helps if things get more annoying than usual.
Also, get RethinkDNS (firewall) and block the adwares and apps that you don’t need internet for. Great many options in there.
It’s my mom’s phone and I’m a significant bit of distance away from home. So, I want to make changes that are as non-intrusive as possible because she can’t really troubleshoot.
Yeah no idea why people are sleeping on the Motos. I love mine
Ads, as of late. Bought my mom one and kinda regret it.

I forget the model but an especially annoying piece of adware on the phone is Glance, which keeps re-enabling and reinstalling itself.
