Happy to help and best of luck. I’ll drop one more link here for you that I found useful on this topic: https://seprand.github.io/articles/best-user-profile-setup/

Hey Squirrel, notifications do work across profiles if you are logged in with a session on the other profile, too. This will work until you restart your phone or explicitly end your session on the other profile otherwise you will stay logged in when switching profiles. There is a setting in graphene under System > Users > Send notifications to current profile to toggle this feature on but only the profile name, app name and time is displayed so if you wanted to see the message from WhatsApp then you won’t be able to if it’s in another profile.

I decided instead to put WhatsApp into a Private Space in my owner profile by itself so it’s isolated, but I can access and use it on my main profile normally, only that the private space needs to be unlocked when I restart my phone.

Personally I don’t have WhatsApp notifications turned on, only when I recive voice or video calls from WhatsApp then my phone will vibrate, but you can get notifications properly with this setup if you like.

You can read about how the private space feature works with GrapheneOS here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/16670-private-space-on-android-15-grapheneos

You will find, as mentioned all over GrapheneOS forums, that there are millions of ways to setup profiles and lots of discussions around it so you just gotta work out what works best for you.

My setup is kind of a half way house to full degoogling.

1. Owner profile: mostly FOSS with Fdroid, Obtanium, sandboxed Google play with a new burner Google account for the few things that needed it.
2. Owner’s Private profile: WhatsApp
3. Secondary profile: banking apps
4. Google profile: my left over Google services. Profile will soon be deleted entirely.

Sorry for the long reply, hope it is helpful.

Nice thanks for the suggestion I will look into it.

Today is my first day using Graphene full time after two weeks of delays and familiarising with things. Very satisfied right now. Everything works smoothly, and the granular app permissions and storage scopes are a dream.

I threw the last couple of Google services I still need into a separate user profile while I phase them out, and I really wish I could ditch WhatsApp but it’s almost impossible for me at the moment. Nevertheless, I’m pleased with my progress and highly recommend leaping.

Do it!

I think it’s the U2 line platform heading West but I could be wrong.

These days it’s difficult to tell if it’s ragebait or trolling and some people here think things are obvious because we too live in an echo chamber, and some will just downvote and move on if they see something they disagree with or don’t like. I wouldn’t worry so much about downvotes here, you don’t get really buried like on Reddit and it doesnt matter overall (or at all). The Guardian is a very well known centre left newspaper that isn’t run by a large news corp, but that doesnt make it fringe, and tabloids are known for low effort journalism/gossip so it doesnt fit those categories. Either way, I hope you don’t get discouraged from contributing here if you are genuinely adding to the discourse. If you baitin then ya got me.

Yup exactly I was quoting that part to point out that it was only found in the results of the meta analysis of all the studies in follow up period 1 but I wasnt very specific about that, i.e. I was not intending to validate the title’s claim.

Not OP obv, but based on the sample size and NIH reference I found the paper and the following down in the results section:

In the meta-analysis incorporating the time-varying estimates from all 3 cohorts, daily MV use, compared with nonuse, was associated with a 4% higher risk of all-cause mortality in FP1 (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07) but not in FP2 (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.93-1.04) (Figure 2).

Hit real hard. Watching Bojack Horseman coincided with the time in my life when I really needed to watch Bojack Horseman.

Decades of propaganda by the auto industry, especially through cinema and TV, has programmed people to think that if you don’t have a nice car you won’t get laid.

Labelling the crab as C is sure to ruffle some exoskeletons…
