I’ve switched some default apps in Android 9, but they’re occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?

    I’m not sim-swapping at all, but I have recently placed my phone into faraday cage, maybe that was the trigger?

      I can’t imagine that it would be related. Losing cell service doesn’t trigger the SIM OOTB (out of the box) setup process that would reset appdefaults.

      Either your carrier is doing some dumb shit and force resetting defaults or the phone is just cursed lol
