If the node is in the phone who's copy of the blockchain is it using? Or is it its own pruned node or something?

How does it validate channels if it doesn't have it's own copy of the blockchain? It must access a copy of it somewhere
Played around for like 2 mins. Looks like they use neutrino, which is SPV but privacy preserving.
Lightning node, not Bitcoin core.
LND supports Neutrino.
In this case, the LND software is running on phone and stores channel and wallet data. For Zeus, its connecting to Olympus btc core node.
