The e.foundation has announced the release of /e/OS 3.2, enhancing its privacy-oriented mobile operating system with various updates aimed at improving user experience and device functionality. Key features of this update include real-time leak warnings that alert users when apps attempt to share data without permission, making privacy management more straightforward and accessible.
Furthermore, the App Lounge has received notable refinements, now displaying app sizes from F-Droid and showcasing region-specific applications, which should enhance the user experience while browsing for apps. For users of Fairphone's Gen. 6 devices, there are new customization options for the side button, allowing users to assign preferred actions, though a built-in "Moments" feature akin to Android's remains absent. This customization can still provide valuable flexibility based on individual preferences.
Additional improvements have been made to the camera experience on Gen. 6 devices, ensuring smoother operation and enhanced performance. The update also facilitates over-the-air (OTA) upgrades for several models, including Fairphone 5, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8, paving the way for future compatibility with Android 15. Additionally, the release fully unlocks the device tree code, addressing a previously voiced request from the community.
Beyond these major updates, /e/OS 3.2 includes a range of minor tweaks and fixes designed to enhance overall system performance. Improvements have been made to the App Lounge's performance, wired headphone support is now more reliable, and parental control features have been better stabilized.
In summary, /e/OS 3.2 marks a significant step forward for the e.foundation's commitment to user privacy and device customization, enhancing the overall functionality and user experience of its mobile operating system. Users seeking a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream operating systems will find this update appealing. For further details, users are encouraged to consult the release notes.
Looking ahead, the e.foundation may continue to focus on enhancing app security features and expanding device compatibility, while also potentially introducing more customizable features to meet user demands and improve functionality across a broader range of devices
