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?

    Odd suggestion, but do you still have their contact info? Could you ask them? 😄

    You could also send them a small thank you gift and ask them with that, so not to make it seem like you’re accusing them of anything

    It’s a reasonable request, you could say that you need to keep your phone secure for work, and while it was great that the stranger was able to get it to you, you’re following up on if there is some bug you need to look into

    Unrelated, it might be good to set up a “If lost, call ____” type message. If you don’t have another number, email also works.
