I've heard people mention having their phone looked through when traveling internationally (ie entering a country they are not a citizen of). is best practice to remove those apps before the airport / security screenings ? Any other tips for phone hygiene ?

I've heard this, too.
My level-1 trick is to just turn it off. If questioned or whatever, refuse to turn on/enter PINs
”Oh it’s just a burner phone.. its battery ran out and I haven’t used it in weeks.. my real phone is at home”
Ok, go ahead sir.
Even better to have some ”normie” phone powered on with some facebook and uber and normie apps installed because it might be suspicious to travel without a phone
What shitizens still do not want to understand: NOBODY can search your device without a proper warrant of a crime.

And here is a definition of a crime

If you do not commit any crime, you are not REQUIRED to present or give away the access to your PROPERTY.
Or... you are fucking morons slaves giving up your rights becasuse you shit your pants,
FUCKING PUSSIES !
Worse than a search is losing it, or having it stolen, while traveling esp if tied to 2FA
Just bringing a burner with passkeys for essential comms is the proper paranoid move
