So today I finally took the plunge and bought a new Pixel 8a to install GrapheneOS on. It will be my new daily driver, replacing my current phone. It’s getting delivered tomorrow, and I’d like to make sure I’m getting the full privacy/security benefits from the device. What other recommendations would you provide?

    Get a case with a wrist strap;

    Get a usb-charge only cable/adapter for when you want to charge it when out and about.

    Get a usb-c to headphone adapter.

    Play around with multi-profile alerts, and work profiles for separation.

    Play around with file-scopes, and contact scopes.


    All y’all downvoting recommendations: That’s a really negative way to participate in a community. People are genuinely giving their earnest real lived recommendations (i haven’t seen one meme recommendation in this thread) and some of you downvote them for it. We wouldn’t have anything to talk about if we all thought exactly the same thing, and had the same opinions.

      Some people would love if it all were just memes and no discussions. Lemmy is getting there because downvoting pushes down a lot of valid opinions.

      I think people who enjoy downvoting are people who generally never themselves have any opinions that differ from the majority one.
