Meta/Facebook preinstalls an app called Meta Services (previously Facebook services) on a very large percentage of android devices (I’ve never used one without it) and while they claim it helps updates and synchronisation between different meta apps, it is very suspicious. Why preinstall it on devices of people who will potentialy never use a single meta app?
Go to your app list/app management and show system apps and find anything with the words “meta” or “Facebook” then turn off network access for those apps (if you can) and disable them. (eg. Meta app manager).

Now on GrapheneOS on the Pixel 6a. One of the best decisions I made :)

What NFC payment options were available on there?

NFC payments do have the benefit of not providing your card information to the vendor. It only provides a token to the vendor.

Good idea.
Unrelated, can I borrow your credit card?

To use my bank card separately, because proving less data to my phone (previously on Android) was a sensible plan.
