Working as intended. The fact they are making news about this makes me feel confident of GrapheneOS.
I'll take Graphene way more seriously when it takes the theeat model seriously and uses the distress code to quietly wipe the phone in the background
Instead of making a big splash screen so even Officer Bullethead groks what's up
I’m not an Android user but wouldn’t it be easy to just have it mount some other volumes on the filesystem when the duress passcode is entered? In Linux land I’m thinking of
/home/<username>but there are probably far more paths to mount.This
And along with wiping the private data on the old volume, the new "duress" one should plausibly look like a boring user's actual phone-- slop family pics, Facebook, etc
