FAQ

How can Android be used on the phone without sharing data with Google?

Google does provide the source code of Android to the public without any charge. This allows third parties like the e foundation to provide the system without any Google service and since the source code is distributed as open source, it is possible to double-check that no communication with Google is taking place here.

What are the limits of your phone?

The phone can be used the same way as any other Google phone. /e/OS allows you to use Google's push service with the help of microG which works as an interface for Google's push service.

With microG your app can still make use of all push notifications while microG is not sharing any more data than absolutely necessary to perform the service. However, if it comes to very sophisticated apps like some banking-apps, you might face some issues. Please reach out for us if you need support here.

What can I do if something does not work?

Together with your humbleOne you will receive a support key which allows you to contact us at any time with questions regarding /e/OS or the humbleOne. Please check out our contact section to reach out for us.
