Hello guys. I recently acquired a Pixel 8A and it was Google stock os I bought it from a man locally all with cash I brought It home and I flashed grapheneos onto this phone.

What else needs to be done to anonymous this phone and make it a privacy phone and a spy free phone no tracking phone no interception phone and no monitored phone.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

    Interpret it how you want. I think it is better to tell that an online phone will never fulfill this demands and risk stating the obvious than just mentioning things he can do and risk him feeling save and acting as the requirements where met, when they are really not

      “while you can never eliminate all risk online, you can…” Is a pretty reasonable way to help without sounding like…whatever this is. Arrogance?

        Dude, that is literally what I did! to quote my original comment:

        If you want to be sure you cant be tracked, monitored, spyed on, and calls can’t be intersepted:

        Don’t ever connect it to WiFi and don’t insert a sim card.

        If you just want to decrease spying by companies and less powerful people:

        I don’t know what your problem is honestly. Maybe my tone was off, if so thats on me, I am not a native speaker, but I really don’t know why you are targeting me now with your quite harsh stellvertreterkrieg… You are not even op, why are you so offended and talk me down?
