Android users criticize lack of CalDAV and CardDAV support

Users are criticizing Google's Android for lacking native support for the open synchronization standards CalDAV and CardDAV, noting that Apple's iOS and macOS handle them out of the box. Critics argue this pushes people toward proprietary services, and some point to the privacy-focused GrapheneOS as one of the few Android options with proper integration.

Why now: Frustration over Android's poor support for open contact and calendar synchronization standards compared to Apple's platforms.

• I can't believe that # android doesn't support # caldav or # carddav open standards (or ideally # jmap ), while apparently iOS+macOS has perfect OS-integrated support... it really feels like # grapheneos is the last bastion of hope for Android :/ · hbond@floss.social · 3
