I have a non gms ROM (e/os) I have shelter (work profile jail), and WhatsApp is living in the jail and doesn’t see any contacts or rest of the phone… I split my comms to (beeper for all texts that I don’t care about for privacy that I can not get away from e…g LinkedIn/WhatsApp/g messenger but I have signal/briar that actually runs on the phone (non shelter). And I refuse to add them to beeper.

Just like other said about physically access, not gonna repeat that. Additionally, afaik there are pixels, brax me, FairPhones (via murena I.e. e/os) and some very custom made phones from sweden/Switzerland that allows relock (like someone said about the keys), I am not aware of any others. Personally I am on FairPhone with e/OS for this very reason. (As my sony’s were unlocked while on lineage or e/os ). I wish EU passes a law that required all odm/oems to allow aosp (non gms) and their custom factory os like the pc market… People should be able to own the hardware they paid for. Not ransomed by the odm/oem with their software keys. (Same goes for cars/bikes/ appliances).
