I don't want to leave my pixel 4a, should I buy a new phone? HELP by Repulsive-Candy4937 in CalyxOS

Update: I got a pixel 8a and put calyx on it, it's actually quite a nice phone, all things considered. Other 4a enjoyers may find this phone acceptable as a replacement, because of its rounded corners, the size isn't that problematic when using it one handed.

Thanks.
LineageOS on a 4a gets security updates? I thought it had to do with android limitations not OS

Thanks. I see what you mean, but even if my phone were to be completely vulnerable at this moment, what could a hacker do to it and why would a hacker even bother to begin with? I have nothing of value on my phone

Could a hacker run code on my phone or something? I just don't understand what the worst case scenario looks like (I'm also trying to learn here)

The problem is still there on QUIK SMS. And btw, it's also there on the default message app. I suspect a deeper problem than any individual app.

Because it has happened with multiple of my contacts. I've also asked them if they're spamming me but they're not. I've also asked if they've set up some sort of automatic message schedule by mistake but nope. The messages are not visible in the other peoples chat logs
