You'd need your phone not to be linked to your id. Ideally without an IMEI number (if that's possible). You would have to make sure your email, social media BANKING on your phone were totally anonymous. Even if you're using an esim which is not connected to your id, your phone will still track your movements. Most threat levels won't warrant such paranoia but don't be fooled. I love and use Graphene btw

If you take your phone between even just your home and work —doxxed locations— it is trivial to associate it with your true-name identity even if all of the hardware and services are perfectly anonymous. Even journalists have managed these kind of investigations. "Anonymized" location data is unfortunely not anonymous — it *can never* be anonymous. And yet it is sold like any other product. Your phone's movements through physical space are unique. Even if you live in a building of 400 people, the movements of 399 of them are not going to match the tower records of your phone's movements. Even if you work in the same office. People's geographic movements are unique—and identifying.
