If you are worried about data breach and passwords being compromised before you travel; you dont need to be traveling. Your phone can be breached or hacked at any time from any where.

While useless and not how this works at all.
When roadtripping, it is indeed useful to turn off data(not bluetooth, phone data). The searching for network EATS the battery
Better LPT, turn off “auto connect to open networks”
i keep Bluetooth on to have it stay connected to my tile in my wallet, otherwise I’ll usually have it off to save battery anyway
Why would i keep them on if i dont need them
