This isn't true, it would have been true under "no deal", but UK citizens resident in EU 27 or EU citizens resident in UK now have additional rights granted under the withdrawal agreement, these are over and above "normal alien status". The deal mandates specific "settled status" schemes in EU and UK, with qualifying criteria that are effectively the same as for EU freedom of movement. There are deadlines for applying though, and if you miss those then you will end up with "normal alien status".
