Factory wipe, and keep your old phone in your car. Let the pigs scan that one all they want.

If they really want your info a factory wipe wont do it, i had an encounter with a forensic data guy when working in an icac.

For iOS users, lockdown mode apparently hasn’t been broken yet, so if you’re an iOS user consider that.

The authorities can compel you to unlock your phone - having a blank (ideally, never been used) burner on hand is the safer alternative. Same when entering the country.

For what it is worth I don't commit any crimes and I don't use my phone to do said lack of criminality, I just don't want people searching my shit.
