Leaving messages open and accessible on your phone can lead to unintended consequences. Sensitive information like financial details, personal relationships, or business plans can easily fall into the wrong hands if your phone is left unattended or accessed without permission. Malicious actors can misuse this data for identity theft, blackmail, or fraud, while even well-meaning individuals might inadvertently expose private matters by forwarding messages or screenshots. 
To protect yourself, enable device encryption, lock your screen, and avoid leaving apps with sensitive conversations open. Consider using secure messaging apps like Newstalk, for secret message or online video call which hide chat access behind layers of protection, ensuring your messages remain truly private.
