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 I ended up on the same chart - link for future people: https://www.racfoundation.org/data/uk-pump-prices-over-time

Never really bothered to do the conversions but now I've just realised how cheap gasoline was in the US. The cheapest I remember seeing pump prices in the uk was in late 90s where it was £0.65/L, which would make it around £2.46/gallon and therefore $4.15/gallon given the apparent exchange rate at the time.

Good to know - Crazy they did that but you can still buy tobacco.

Synthetic nicotine (non-tobacco) snus, which are usually just called nicotine pouches or "all-white", are not banned for consumption in the rest of the EU. A lot of countries have bans on the sale of flavoured nicotine or menthol nicotine products due to menthol cigarettes which covers a lot of all-white nicotine pouches but you can still consume them.

You won't regret it!

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