the article discusses border control authorities, and customs officials have the authority and right to control your smartphone. to secure your crypto wallet there is no other way but to encrypt data, or temporarily delete applications, sensitive data, and cookies / history. This is indeed disappointing but we can still anticipate it before leaving home

whats so dissapoting about that ? deleting your browser cookie , apps and other files ? that sucks indeed but if you want to be safety about your cryptos then its not a problem but there are still other less hassel ways to do it without the need of deleting your files permanently .

there are tools available on the net . they said using phone to store a crypto key and account is not advisable because phones are easier to spy one due to the sim card attatch thru it . our network provider for example can spy on us

It is the authorities that give you a lot of personal data and therefore they have the right to know that data because they already know these files.
The difference is the right to access photos and personal data that governments can access in emergency situations or after permission from the court in special cases, otherwise, you can file a lawsuit against the state.
As for the applications of individuals and companies, you are not obligated to accept the permissions as you have many alternatives.

We all keep a lot of personal information on our phones and obviously don’t want to share our correspondence, cryptocurrency wallets, or contacts to become a part of the public domain. Nonetheless, in some cases, authorities can ask you to provide full access to your device.

Is this even legal? Can you refuse to give your phone to law enforcement? How can you protect your cryptocurrency wallet?

What country does have a law like that? I'm not aware such law exists if any. AFAIK, phones can only just be held by the authorities if that is subject to investigation e.g suspected of being used as a tool associated with a crime, consider as strong proof of evidence, etc. or something along those lines.

Personal belonging is a private matter. No way I will just allow anyone to search for it. And for let's say there's a case that it's really necessary, I don't think they will try to breach a mobile crypto wallet or any other app as long as it wasn't involved in what they are looking for. And even they have a tool, it's not easy to access these apps remotely or via a third-party app.

When you are already aware on possible phone search then think up wisely.Use an alternative one and in case you get caught in the act then they cant find anything.

When it comes to checking or inspection specially on your personal belongings then it do really need legal documentation and as a right you should
seek for that one because everything do comes on due process.
