Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?
Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?
Fingerprint and pin code. They left the phone at a store nearby and I went to pick it up
Is your pin simple? If you hold your phone up to the light can you see the smudge marks where your pin usually goes?
Do you have people set up as emergency contacts via the lock screen?
GrapheneOS also has this cool feature called Scramble PIN Layout to try and protect against guessing the pin from fingerprints on the screen.
