Eventually everyone is going to have to own two phones, one for "official" work and government stuff, and one for actual privacy.
I've got my personal phone and a government-issued iPhone. The iPhone gets turned off as soon as I leave work in the evening and I turn it back on when I get to work. I only give out my work phone number, so I don't get bothered when I'm off the clock. It's pretty convenient tbh.
Maybe get a Faraday bag. That should have a Bluetooth beacon that operates even if powered off. 😁

I'm no Amazon fan, but these seem to work well.
