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?

    Settings, security, more security settings:

    Under work profile and security:

    Disable - use one lock for work profile and device screen

    Configure - work profile lock, use a different code, only needed at boot time.

    Enroll finger prints for biometric unlock.

      Thanks, I use Workprofile for crap apps, but if I wouldnt need those this would be a good idea!

        You could put the crap apps in the main profile, and then the important apps in the work profile. Then the important apps would have two factor

          I am not really leaving my device locked haha, or if, then I would also always have the work profile locked. Also I dont trust Androids init system, apps just randomly run in the background and there still is no way to completely prevent that. So I keep them in the work profile

            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.
