On a basic level, if you’re worried about your privacy, it’s probably not wise to have a smart phone at all. Your activity is logged no matter what and the real issue is how that data is used. Fortunately, you have an iPhone and, as shown in the USA, Apple has been entirely resistant to allowing any backdoor access to data on locked phones even when demanded by national security forces. Android doesn’t have that level of corporate decision-making behind it for obvious reasons and I’d be a little more wary of data on an Android phone being accessed without consent if I had one of those. Just don’t download any Covid tracing app and I think you’ll be fine.
