Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Changes since the 2024080600 release:
- Settings: enable Safety Center and port all of the relevant GrapheneOS settings to it both to provide the more modern user interface and to prepare for the release of Android 15
- hide Safety Center camera extensions fallback toggle when it's not relevant (not used on Pixels)
- Package Installer: fix upstream bug causing null pointer exception in rare edge cases including a rare race condition
- require Owner user credential to check whether a duress PIN/password is enabled as hardening against potential UI bugs such as the upstream predictive back gesture issue we patched in the Settings app
- apply upstream change for 6th generation Pixels making snapuserd available in recovery to avoid a problem in a rare edge case where a factory reset occurs before finishing booting a new update
- apply minor upstream fixes for Settings which were temporarily only shipped for certain Pixels
- add fastboot to otatools.zip for optimized factory images generation
- flash-all: raise minimum fastboot version to 35.0.1

imagine i give my phone to someone else, and i just dont want them to access 1 or 2 apps, so like i lock just those few apps.
currently I use a third party app to lock apps, but its user experience is pretty bad and not as convenient as on when I used ColorOS.
Yes I can make a separate user account for just those few apps, but like in some apps I like to share stuff to another app and that's not possible when the user account is different.
I Also miss hiding apps on ColorOS. where when I lend my phone to others, they won't know that I have certain apps installed.
I see, fair points. I think but I am not sure, hiding applications, may be coming to aosp in Android 15.
