That's awful. Are there other "security by obscurity" measures you would like to see? For example, making these apps blend in with icon changes, fake splash screens/façades that look like games? Would people have done this already if it were common to build and use alternative clients to the major messaging services? |

this was last yearand it continues. i have taught people to use launchers on android like evie that lets you hide apps. that saves you a lot of roadside quick grief. same for using password protected "gallery" like simple gallery to keep stuff behind a password. a thorough check will defeat all this but saves you in the field as you can be randomly picked.
whatsapp/signal/telegram as i said is more difficult, even clubhouse because since your phone is already public, the police do join groups, public or private using any means, lets say by surveillance, by getting access from company side or "borrowing" a phone from a member. then they just get a list of names and go knocking on doors. if the number was not there, it would have been much more difficult.
