New apps from GrapheneOS were originally noticed by XDA. They are called Secure PDF and Secure Camera. Apart from being extra secured, the Camera app provides numerous features. It works perfectly with the line of Google Pixel phones. You can scan the QR codes with its help. The app does not ask anything apart from access to your camera which is needed for its work. If you want to tag your photos and geotagging is turned on, the app may ask your permission to use it as well. Meanwhile, Secure PDF does not require any permission from you. It still provides all the features that were indicated.
