Question about traveling in/out of the US

Probably a silly question, but it's made me nervous to do international travel lately. Has anyone had any issues with Customs and Border Protection when returning to the US? I read stories that they're demanding to see people's phones, and I'm worried about having gay dating apps on my phone and if that would cause any issues.

Obviously I could delete them before returning, but that's definitely a pain to redo all my profiles. Some people have suggested a dummy phone, but never tried that. I still need to have my real phone on me.

Has anyone had any issues with travel lately?
