It's not possible not to it you want to visit USA. If you don't, they'll reject your visa or deny entry. Thr only way is to use brand new cheap android before or after ( after is better ) and resell it once you go back. Most corporations do so

For iOS. You can just hold down the lock and volume up button and it will require your passcode. 5x lock works too but I feel the former is easier.

You can show your wallet with your phone locked. Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Allow access when locked > Wallet

Seems like the cops should now be worried about civilian phones exploding and now might consider shooting anyone that tries to hand them a phone /s
