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?

        Yes, watching videos is one of the core uses of my phone. But that’s besides the point, it’s illustrative that there are apps that keep a screen unlocked.

        Prevent phone from sleeping : I believe is the permission name

        Not OP, but a lot of people use YouTube (video) as a music player. Although I would expect these people to notice the sound getting quieter/disconnecting when they moved away from the phone.

        Yes that’s how YouTube works? It keeps running, it’s called video, you should check it out sometime
