Broadly speaking if the data is on someone else’s computer, it’s in their “house” for the purpose of the search.
Cracking open your phone might require a warrant. But basically every byte of data on it has come from your ISP and is backed up to Apple\Google etc. and those companies will let me search their computers for your data no questions asked (or for a nominal fee).
That’s how you sidestep the 4th amendment when it comes to tech in the modern age.
