I’ve just switched from an iPhone 12 Pro to Pixel 9 and am on GrapheneOS now. Aside from Signal chat history, everything switched over quite easily. Sandboxed google play services is simply an amazing feature. Rerouting location requests let’s me feel a certain level of trust when I use Google Maps now. There are a tonne of little quality of life features too that I don’t remember if base Android had back when I used it before; e.g. setting the default language for a specific application.
For using Immich without exposing it to the public, check out Tailscale. It’s a private VPN (wireguard) service (it’s opensource and provides paid tiers, but the free tier is all you’ll need) you can use on your home network that is dead simple to configure. You literally just login on you computer and your phone.
