Before I make the investment in the hardware and the time to migrate to different apps by getting a degoogled pixel with GrapheneOS, I’m trying to decide if there will be any practical privacy benefit to doing so, given that my work phone will always be fully googled and tracked by virtue of the apps my employer insists on. The only way I can see there being any practical benefit and making this any more than a technology experiment is if my work phone only gets carried offsite during work hours. Then, thinking further:

- If I choose to only carry a degoogled phone when I’m away from work, how do I do voice comms with a KYC sim to get on my local carrier?

- If I’m constantly in the company of people with spyware phones when I’m away from work, aren’t most of my physical movements and other info able to be inferred anyway? I can’t even talk to my kids or my wife or friends about a new topic or purchase within earshot of their phones without it creeping into their ad feeds. Is any of the James Bond stuff even worth it?
