Hi all, I have a `phone` trait and want to track `phone_is_verified` . In my identity schema, should I define this as a trait or `metadata_public`?

You can make it a `metadata_public` field since you don't want the user to update this field in the settings page.

Thanks! Does that mean that in this example in the “<https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/customize-identity-schema#email|Customize identity schemas>” docs,  `accepted_tos` is an editable field?

yes everything under `traits` will be available under the `profile` method for settings
