1:  To use a phone here in Australia on a daily basis, there are some requirements that may not exist elsewhere.
Where ever we go (during this covid crisis) we have to scan in using QR code.
Each state has it's own app, but of course only on iPhone or android.

Finally managed to get the .apk file for our local app and installed ANBOX, only to find out that the camera doesn't work (yet) on ANBOX.
Would love to hear if anyone has QR code scanning resolved.
...

Simple - megapixels is your friend Big Grin 
1) "You must install our app" - check: it is on my old Android phone in my drawer.
2) "You must scan this QR code" - check: aim megapixels at the code and click the red bit
3) Copy the code, put it in your pipe and smoke it!
Enter wherever and enjoy!
(This is not intended to start a freedom/privacy/anti-vax flame war - please ignore my opinion if it offends you. But above all I can not abide folk who mandate I have to carry an Android or IOS!)

6:  The Portfolio app (I know it Mobian not PP problem) is only good enough to see what you got, you cant cut/paste/copy or delete.
     Will have to find an app to replace that.
...

sudo apt install pcmanfm

7:   Deleting apps or icons from the screen must require you to hold your tongue just right, because I can't find where or how.
...

edit the relevant .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and add a line
NoDisplay=true
just below the "Exec" or "Terminal" line

Top tip: ADD a line
X-Purism-FormFactor=Workstation;Mobile;

for icons that are NOT on the "Mobile friendly" screen but you find them mobile friendly!
