Is IG on a completely different profile in GrapheneOS, or is the app installed on the primary profile where you use your other apps? GrapheneOS’s profiles completely isolate from one another.
Deliverer of ideas for a living. Believer in internet autonomy, dignity. I upkeep instances of FOSS platforms like this for the masses. Previously on Twitter under the same handle. I do software things, but also I don’t.

It sounds like Nextcloud, an alternative to the Google services platform, may have a feature like this through their PhoneTrack app. Is that what you are looking for?
You’d have to set it up, but Nextcloud is easy to set up.
Tesla, himself, is giving a gentle thumbs up from his grave.
+1 for StandardNotes. It’s been a wonderful product.
Love me some Jitsi. The app, and website, make it easy to just start a secure, anonymous call with pals. No weird AI models running in the background like Teams or Zoom.
TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.
The goals of the developer are fun to consider:
Goals
Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection
Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.
Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides
Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data
Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:
Features
“We did the back-of-napkin math on what ramping up this experiment to the entire brain would cost, and the scale is impossibly large — 1.6 zettabytes of storage costing $50 billion and spanning 140 acres, making it the largest data center on the planet.”
Look at what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power.
+1 for Netdata
I would highly consider leveraging the AsteroidOS project – a privacy-focused linux smart watch effort – on one of their approved devices. That link should bring you straight to the watches they support.
Pine Time works well with Pine Phone, but only has basic functionality with other Android devices, like notifications. Not much else last I looked, but I may be out of sync with the community’s development efforts.
The Bangle.js 2 smart watch is another open source device you could look into.
Photopea – online, but can be used as a PWA. One of the best!
LibreTranslate has a FF addon:

Likewise, I think FF has (or will have?) a native capability to translate, as well:

NC Password works well, but does require the server to be up – that can be a painpoint. Keeping an encrypted CSV/spreadsheet backup of your passwords for offline use is one option. Another option might be to see if this Linux Desktop Nextcloud app is still functional: https://gitlab.com/j0chn/nextcloud_password_client
You’ll want to consider isolating IG from your primary profile, to start. The above user’s suggestion hits the nail on the head.
Once the profile ks created, and you’ve installed IG, you’ll want to deselect the option in your Manage Profiles settings on GrapheneOS to ‘Allow running in the backgroud.’ This way, you can ensure the app is entirely stopped until you want it open.
Another consideration may be to turn off your Bluetooth when it’s not in use, as well: BT emits an ‘address’ of sorts that, if another IG user has enabled BT access on their IG app, may be able to detect your phone and track a conversation knowing you are in the other user’s vicinity.
