e/OS 3.0: Update for the Google-free Android version
With version 3.0, the Google-free Android version e/OS receives additional data protection functions, can be located via SMS if lost and is optimised for tablets.
The French company Murena has presented e/OS 3.0 in a livestream. In it, it presented new functions for the Android version without Google and announced encrypted data storage for its cloud service as well as two new hardware partners.
Parental control, tracking blockade and finding lost devices
Data protection has always been a focus at e/OS. It is therefore only logical that Murena is further expanding it in version 3.0. This includes the introduction of parental controls. This can either be activated permanently or switched on specifically, for example if you give your device to children. The function filters content according to different age groups and offers control over screen time and the apps used.
With the advanced «Advanced Privacy», you can block tracking by apps and conceal locations and IP addresses. Weekly reports show which apps and trackers are particularly intrusive. You can share the «Weekly Reports» as inspiration for others.
New search and dictation function
The update to e/OS 3.0 is available immediately, with the rollout for all devices extending until 10 June. The OTA update will be available for all devices that are currently based on AOSP 12, 13 or 14. This is the version number of the open source version of Android.
New hardware for e/OS and encrypted data storage
Murena also used the launch of e/OS 3.0 to introduce two new hardware partners. With the Volla Tablet and the Shift Phone 8, two more devices with pre-installed e/OS will soon be available to buy.
