"This profile doesn't have anything on it. Give us the password for the real profile."

Or even worse, you did give them the real password, but because your phone supports the feature and your profile is kind of barren, they don't believe you. Now you are in a very bad lose-lose situation.

With LLMs, it should be easier than ever to fake generate text messages, notes, emails, etc.
I suppose that you could have the phone listening in real time and generating profiles that are hidden and embarrassing but not illegal.

So when they ask for the real profile it shows in the next unlock a profile that makes it very clear you have a deeply embarrassing ASMR addiction.

It could cross reference your local laws to ensure to not spill the beans on something locally illegal.

You do use your "fake" profile regularly, just for "sanitized" activities. Check in on official sanctioned news sources, do your "legit" banking and financial stuff, etc.
So put stuff on it, duh
"This isn't what we expected to find. Give us the real password."
So your approach instead is...?
Well, if you absolutely must go, don’t bring a phone at all. But do realize that that can be seen as suspicious too.

In general though, my point is that you can’t solve this problem with clever tech tricks. It’ll just make everything more painful for you.
