Starting today, apps made by state and federal governments are getting a new government badge to help users better identify official apps.
The badge will first appear on over 3,000 apps for 12 different countries.
You should sandbox your phone and assume the government may know everything that goes in it.
Pegasus and the like already shown it can be entered with no click zero days.
GrapheneOS May solve some of these since it is a hardened android and does not activate the USB until its unlocked with the PIN.
It is being done remotely, no need for USB.
