Two Of The USA’s Largest Tax Preparation Companies Confirm Gig Workers Must Separate Business vs. Personal Usage & Cost On Their Smartphones
Direct quote from Intuit/Turbo Tax on their tax advisory note dated July 1st, 2021 :
Separate your personal expenses from your business expenses by calculating the portion of your costs used for delivering food.
• If you have an expense that is both personal and business, then you need to allocate it between the two.

Direct quote from H&R Block :
When you use a personal cell phone for business, the regular monthly expense will not qualify as a deduction. To deduct the expense, you would need to calculate the business-use percentage of the mobile phone on a month-by-month basis.
Adequate documentation could include a log with these:
• Notes that indicate whether each call was personal or business
• Business purpose of each call
