It's become so hard to do in modern life - I just keep data turned off and turn it on for brief moments when I need it (lyft, maps, latch).

Doesn’t that mess up all received texts due to I message needing data?

If you want, you can disable _a lot_ of smart features on an iPhone. If you’re paranoid you can lock the re-enabling behind a passcode you give to a trusted person.
