For context: I recently switched to a Pixel 9, installed GrapheneOS and created a profile just for some apps I need Play Store for, which is sandboxed btw. I created a new empty google account for it too.

So I was just downloading an app and saw the option to download it on my old device too, which made me wonder how GP knows about it, since I don’t think I have anything on my new phone that could link to it (except my SIM I guess)

Any ideas?

    Great to know about what it sends. I was using fdroid on my more private profile, but did not know about Aurora Store, this one I will check out. I was using GP mainly to download my banking apps, which I sadly need by the time being.

    Thanks for the info!

        I’m not greek but a friend taught me the word and I thought it made a nice analogy of what I’m trying to achieve :)
