I use Pixel 9a and the latest version of GOS. A random character password with more than 16 characters is the only way to unlock the phone. In addition to the default APP, there are only IronFox (keep in private mode), VPN and a banking app on the phone.
No chat history and call history, no contacts, no SMS/MMS and local files. Keep airplane mode. This is my daily configuration.
Considering that officials are likely to force passwords through torture after discovering that it’s GOS, I will delete the banking APP and turn off the USB port in the settings before entering customs, erase Esims, delete the WIFI connection record, and try to download some large files to cover the data residues in file system, then shutdown. Before passing through customs, I will put the phone in the suitcase instead of in my pocket or hand-held, and use duress password when necessary. I think that’s enough, how you think?
