isn't the simpliest way to increase eprivacy simply to turn off phones when we leave the house, when we don't expect a call? (lemmy.perthchat.org)

@comfy Indeed you need context, but let's limit the concept "full security and privacy" to aspects that are under your control. E.g you might control the physical security of your phone, but you might not control how many men-in-the-middle are between you and the rest of the internet. Like any regular technology user my threat actors are big-tech and establishments.
