      Best thing to do is just avoid the states all together, I've done it my whole life and am continuing doing so.

        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.

        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.

                      The way things are going, don't know how long that's going to last.

                        no-knowledge means that they only can share the encrypted data (AES 256), they don't know the content and can't share it, even with an court order. Only the user itself can do it the company only can give an 🤷‍♂️🖕

                          iCloud.

                          Local iTunes backups don’t work over a VPN. Those are your only two ways to get a system level backup.
