Hi,
If you need the extra GPIOs, the simples would be to switch to a package of the same chip variant with more available GPIOs (aQFN73, WLCSP). Alternatively, you can use a IO expander chip like we do on the Thingy:52, to increase the number of GPIOs available.
Note that external IO expander chip requires additional firmware control and is not as flexible as the internal GPIOs. of the chip.
Best regards,
Jørgen
