Mous cases for the Samsung Galaxy S21: Drop protection and magnetic accessory features
Before you do anything on your iPhone or iPad, you should lock it down. This is how you do it.
iMessage is end-to-end encrypted, so not even Apple can read your messages. But one way your privacy is threatened is by the data stored on the device itself. The longer you keep them on your device, the greater the risk that those conversations can be read by others.
To reduce the time in which iMessage data is stored on your device, go to Settings > Messages > Keep Messages, and select the time you wish to retain your messages. Go back a step and check the Audio Messages and Video Messages as well. These options offer shorter life-spans.
You should also switch on Filter Unknown Senders to cut down on text message spam.
