Just uninstall your social media apps from your phone before going through security. Download them and log in again when you get past the Nazis. Better yet just avoid the USA. Mexico is nice

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.

That's the reason not to enter the US.

The photos app can also be an issue imo
