Tbh I’d say 99% of the criminals won’t know about this.

Let’s say someone have you at gunpoint, you can just give your mains profile pass.

If they don’t even know there is a secret profile you’re good to go.

You’re right, they might assume you’re hiding, but I’d say 99% won’t know what’s even graphene and from those who know I’d say they might force you and you can have 3 sets of bank accounts:

Main profile: 100 Secondary: 1000 Terriary: $$$

Also if you hide all traces of grapheneos would be safer too. Nobody even knows is graphene, so they can’t even check what features you have. Again we are talking about 99% of the criminals, not the tech savvy 1%.

I’d prefer plausible deniability like Vera crypt than what we have now.

You can argue most bad people won't know about it - but I would say we can't really know.

I think the main problem is that people can be affected that aren't even using it, which is why it is such a big problem. You can't really hide it's GrapheneOS either, even just by virtue of the features available on the device, you'll be able to deduce what it is.

I understand the idea behind it but it simply isn't realistic to provide and can put people in danger - the very thing it's meant to prevent.

But also in your case criminals can threaten you to give access to bank accounts you don’t have.

When I say hide, again for 99% of the people. Splash screen, setting spoofing. Sometimes good enough is better than perfect.

And even if the attacker can see the other profile you can just say was your friend’s profile and it’s lost.

Or better, not sure if possible: export the profile in a file like veracrypt. Then when you need the profile import from this file and would restore the secret profile.

It's not about criminals. It's about the police, government spy agencies, and other knowledgeable threat actors.
