I’m running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I’m a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

    On Grapheneos I’ve been using the disable app option aggressively, to have installed apps that only run when I need them. I do have to enable them from the app settings, which is a little annoying but the hotel booking app doesn’t need to be running all the time.

        I see why they did it. If you disable Google News, you don’t want to see it in your launcher. So that makes sense for the original ASOP developers

        I think now, because disabling is a first-class feature for any app, you should be able to indicate you want to still see it in the launcher even though it’s disabled.
