I'm running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I'm a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

Yes but I’ve never seen anyone watch a video in the process. But I was more wondering about the logistics I suppose, like whether the audio is played out loud or in earphones, and how it can be kept playing while set down and lost.

You've never picked up your phone and had it already unlocked? Maybe the YouTube app was open but the video was paused?

Honestly no, I think I reflexively lock it though. I also figured the app would let the screen turn off if paused, but if it doesn’t that makes more sense
