Is there a fork of Android (or a way to harden it) that locks down the OS similarly to how Apple does it?

Apple’s implementation can actually protect you from commercial spyware. I’m impressed.

    You’d need to always keep your phone in airplane mode, and maybe either use a mobile provider that works horrible with GrapheneOS, or change your mobile strength to like 3G, you can completely lose calls and texts when in airplane mode at that point, you’ll never get them, maybe you can stop the Pegasus attack.

    Or, don’t use a phone number, rely on encrypted messaging. But if you must have some number, you could have 2 phones, one with just the phone number and sim card, then the other phone with Signal so your private phone shouldn’t be compromised.

    Those are the only ways I can think of trying to resist it.
