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?

    My guess would be that maybe it wasn’t locked in the first place or they happened to randomly try a few pin combinations & got lucky…

    I think those are most likely scenarios.

    Now if you’re some very important person who could be target then I wouldn’t assume what I stated previously & instead assume the worst.

      My mom says I’m very important … so I’ll assume this was a state actor

      But yeah, this is most likely. I changed my settings to lock faster with a longer pin

        There should also be a setting so it locks when you press the power button. Also, on the off chance you have play services. Turn off smart lock. Also, consider turning off face unlock. These are some suggestions.
