Nostr Web Client

Does anyone have any good tips/ideas to lock down my elderly dad’s Android phone so that he is not able to download any new Apps or receive phone calls from people not in his contacts?

1. Buy pixel

2. Install grapheneOS

3. Do not install google playstore, it's optional

4. Create a non-admin profile for him

5. Done, nothing else can be installed by him

Regarding phone calls, I don't know if that is possible but it would be an interesting feature to implement (a whitelist for calls instead of a blacklist), you can suggest that to the devs, they are very responsive.

If the phone reboots, you'll need to take a drive over or whatever to unlock the Owner profile for him...

True, didn't think about that. Maybe that forces regular visits, which might be a good thing 😄
