Errr phones aren't safe. They are backdoored up the wazoo. Same with all your messaging companies. Any that are decent in size have had a visit from authorities and aren't allowed to disclose to you they have.
Iphones, android it doesn't matter. Your phones about the least safe tech device you own. It literally hacks itself if sent the right messages.
Edit: OK so it seems a fair few folks don't understand how spying across borders and things like the 5 eyes mean your tracked without a warrant legally.
So here's how it works. All 5 eyes countries are not allowed to spy on their own citizens in their countries without a warrant. All 5 eyes countries are allowed to surveil info about foreign individuals without a warrant. 5 eyes intel agencies basically just have to pipe a copy of local data say fb or in this case snapchat out via a friend in a another country then back to themselves and they don't need a warrant. As the data has now come from Intel sharing from your 5 eyes peers. The 5 eyes intel agencies between them all have deals and flex with just about every other intel agency in the world except the obvious few.
Intel sharing these days is as much as a treasure hunt for legal loopholes to get the data as it is hunting the data itself.

- gtvwill 3y agoIts stuff like this. Phone recieves message, runs code embedded in msg for nfi reason why literally starting off the chain of events/exploits to hack yo device. https://eugene.kaspersky.com/2023/06/01/a-matter-of-triangulation/ https://eugene.kaspersky.com/2023/06/01/a-matter-of-triangul... We've had a few of these types of entry points in phones now over the years. Enough that if its still happening its probably by design as a favor to a 3 letter agency.
