As everything on your phone should be backed up, you could just wipe your phone to new.

Then log in with another temp account and use that for border pass etc, and then after border checks log back into your normal account?

I wouldn't really want to deal with the suspicions of having a freshly-wiped phone, or the suspicions of having no phone at all.

A proper burner phone has basic usage on it. Link it to a Gmail account you don't use for anything else so you can have your ridesharing apps on it. Just enough for travel purposes, but nothing else.

If you really have to, have some social media accounts on it too and give them a basic amount of usage. Snap photos of the country you went on the trip to, etc.

Just get a boarding pass from the counter old school style. They still print them.
