On pixel 9 (and maybe earlier) grapheneos devices, you can just disable the USB c port which is more secure than apple’s pairlocking. Combine that with a self destruct pin/password, your data is bulletproof.

Re: whatsapp, I’m pretty sure the android and iphone app use the same backup format. You can manually extract them by doing an unencrypted iPhone backup to your PC and extract the data from that. When I tested an iPhone a few years ago, I was able to move my whatsapp data after the initial setup with that. I’m pretty sure there are commercial tools that do the same thing too.

Garmin pay, assuming you bank supports it

I use grapheneos. My yubikey 5c works fine for me. I can use it via NFC and when plugged in directly. Have you tried looking at the GOS forums for support?

With your banking apps try enabling the compatibility support mode in app settings. GOS adds additional security to apps which break some of the things bank apps use

Double tapping the bottom of the screen to shift everything down so you can reach the top of the screen with your finger when using one hand.

That’s built into android including GOS but its not enabled by default. The gesture is a swipe down as opposed to a double tap.

Holding down on the space bar to move the text cursor between characters. Maybe these exist on gos though?

That’s present on multiple keyboard options including heliboard, gboard and others.

Agreed. From what I can tell the swiping is inaccurate as you have to touch each letter perfectly for it to register where as on gboard being near to or adjacent to a letter is sufficient for it to guess the correct word

It can communicate via play services if you have that

creality ender v3 se is a good entry level printer. I bought one earlier this year. Despite its low price, It’s easy to assemble, has auto leveling and makes decent prints. You cant go wrong for the price.

I would use kagi, but only if they supported monero payments.
