I (22F) feel like my boyfriend (23F) is being too much that it annoys me. What should I do?

We've been together for almost 2 years. He's an overthinker and recently every question he asks annoys me so much. Some people may say that I should reassure him to stop him from overthinking but he knows that I am not vocal and I show my love through actions. During the beginning of our relationship, he always says "If you ever find someone else, please tell me". I keep reassuring him that it won't happen. We were a new couple that time and it hurt me that he has no confidence in our relationship and has little trust in me. This conversation has been repeated a few more times. I am getting tired of the constant reassuring because it feels like he doesn't believe every word I say. Recently, I feel like he is becoming too much. One time I was out shopping ingredients with my friends for a very important event. It was public market and a very dangerous area. I couldn't update him because I'm scared that my phone will get snatched by robbers. Well, he got mad that I only messaged him around lunchtime and that messaging him won't take long. Another example was when I sent a screenshot of something and he saw that there was a message icon on the notification bar. I told him that it was a spam message from scammers and showed him the notification. He demanded to see what the message was. Another example was when I was in a mall buying smth. He suddenly videocalled me and I continued shopping while on the call. I was lining up to pay for the stuff I got when another customer asked me if I was last on the line. I said yes. Then there he was, asking me who was I talking to and if I am with another person when he can see me going around alone because we are in a videocall. One time he even accused me of turning off the data for Life360 so that he won't know my location. I never turn off the data and sometimes Life360 doesn't update my location immediately. Also recently i've been attending some trainings for my career and I met new people related to that industry. During the sessions, I can't message him as much. He gets sad that I don't update him during and feels like that I don't give him much time. I get annoyed because he knows that I have to focus on the trainings and I can't even use my phone all the time. He is also quite scared of the trainings because he felt like i'm becoming out of his reach. There are more situations but these are all I can say because they happened quite recently. His questions are getting on my nerves. I also tell him that he is too much sometimes but he gets all "sorry for loving you too much" Maybe I am the a**hole for feeling like this. You people might think that the situations are normal and I am the one overreacting. I don't know anymore. I am getting quite tired of the constant questions.

Also sorry if my sentences are quite confusing, english is not my first language
