Hey.

My phone is a Pixel 8A Graphene OS Phone. I Want to make this phone a Hardended phone. A safe phone. Privacy friendly phone. Not a Watched or tapped into phone. Basically limit the spying and intercepting and get control of the spying mechanisms that may be at play.

The phone has Sandboxed google.play services.

(grapheneos) and 1 profile (owner)

The phone has a kyc sim card. ( currently no way out)

Thanks.

    Create a separate user profile (one for each “online identity” if needed).

    Install orbot (tor) on the main (admin) profile, along with any stores or app installers.

    Install apps with the admin profile and pass them to your user profiles that will use them. Your installs will be anonymous through orbot. Disable all apps on the admin profile and don’t use apps on it.

    I use an always on VPN on user profiles. You can also use orbot, but it will likely be slower.
