FYI if you are using GrapheneOS with the duress password, you can natively backup your phone. Its in settings.

    For people that don't want to be dragging into a civil rights case, can you set up a dummy interface that looks used, but doesn't have any too important available? Like you only owned the phone for a week?

    You can setup different users on GrapheneOS and switch between them.

    There is also a "private area" in the bottom of the app list where you can move sensitive apps and password protect them.

    Either way, allowing a malicious actor into that profile exposes more attack surface for them to exploit.

    Idk. Security is a journey, not a destination.
