Hi everyone. I'm making my first post to Lemmy now. I bought a Pixel 9A last month and have been on stock android.

I should have installed GrapheneOS without setting up a Google account, but I'm still not familiar with Linux or other systems, even though I know GrapheneOS is based on the Android system. I've been using an iPhone for almost 12 years now. I know how to protect my data/privacy from massive surveillance.

Now I now want to take full control of my pixel phone without Google Play store/service.

My concern is lack of phone screening feature on Graphene OS but I don't want to have any Google service on Graphene OS. How do you deal without it?

Thank you for your response in advance

Add all of your regular calls to contacts. Block any calls not coming from your contacts. See "Should I Answer?" app for example.

    The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.

    I created a "Do not disturb" profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that's just my preference.

    In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don't care about the rest.
