What to do if border police ask to search your phone

But how would I backup everything from an iPhone? I got photos and contacts down. Idk about the rest. Maybe you’ve given me a new project.
Pay for one month of iCloud, it's $3 to $11 depending on need. Cancel after trip.

Even though I have nothing incriminating on my phone, I still do a check up on my phone before I go to the airport. Just move all my photos/files/downloads to my PC.

How can you do this especially if you don’t pay for cloud storage? I have self hosted cloud

Regardless of what you or anyone has on your phone that is, in any context dystopian and authoritarian asf, there's already been cases of people being detained by US border authorities for anything anti-govt. found on their devices it's like Trump read 1984 and thought it was an instruction manual.
Worst part is he's disguising himself as a libertarian and someone who's pro free-speech, when his ideas of libertarianism only extend to his govt. and cronies and his ideas of freedom of speech extend to his own views and his own supporters. He's using the guise of being censored himself to censor literally anyone who opposes him.

You won't lose them if you back them up. SMS Backup and Restore can automate the task for you.
I'll look into it. In the past I seen to recall that all of the contacts were there but the previous conversations were either fine or severely truncated.

Option one: just don't go to the USA
Option two: if you really have to go, don't take your phone.
Option three: if you really need a phone, take a burner
Be sure to not have any Google or Hotmail account, as in unsure about their "powers" to force you to login to your email accounts. Have a non US mail provider at the very least.

This very message might already be cause for incrimination at this stage
Leave your phone at home

I used to backup my phone wipe it and then restore once across the boarder.

Well, regrettably, I live here. I will, also regrettably, be returning from a trip to Europe.
But I didn't really want to lose my text conversations. Very little of it has to do with politics but, you know, there's probably some on there somewhere.
SMS Import/Export has worked really well for me lately.

iCloud.
Local iTunes backups don’t work over a VPN. Those are your only two ways to get a system level backup.
Sorry, idk why you got downvoted. I turned those off for me and my instance. Thanks for sharing!
