Good messaging hygiene might involve changing apps or tweaking a setting, but it’s important that you don’t neglect it.
Other apps offer the ability to lock all of your chats, including Signal, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram, though for the moment the option to lock individual conversations is exclusive to WhatsApp.Most instant messenger and social media apps let you control which other users are allowed to follow you, send friendship requests, communicate with you via direct messages, and so on.
Also, think about the temporary photo and video posts commonly known as stories if your app supports them . These stories have their own visibility settings and may well be public by default.You want to keep backups of some conversations, otherwise you risk losing all of those records, and all that history, if something should happen to your smartphone.
But it’s important to know what you’re backing up and where those backups live. Backups are another potential route for anyone trying to access your messages without authorization, so you should keep them as well protected and secure as anything that’s actually on your phone. Some apps back up your conversations locally, and few encrypt them, so make sure to check your favorite app’s settings.
As a final precaution, you also need to think about other devices and locations where you’re logged in—Gmail can lead to Google Chat, for example—as well as places any external backups might be stored and how these are protected .
