    A growing number of legal U.S. residents and visa holders are being detained or deported after border agents inspect their phones and social media.

        No, use a burner phone. Don’t install any apps, and only have the most important numbers in there, if at all. Use a new mail account with it.

          Then you’ll be detained because obviously you got something to hide, let’s find out what!

            Can you buy a used iPhone 8 to use as a burner phone? It should not raise suspicion.
